Quebec Liberal Leader Charles Milliard won’t reinstate Marwah Rizqy in party caucus
Milliard cited ongoing legal cases, investigations, and an internal review that found no evidence supporting media allegations as reasons for not reinstating Rizqy.
- On Feb. 18, 2026, Quebec Liberal Leader Charles Milliard said he will not reinstate Marwah Rizqy to the party caucus, The Canadian Press first reported.
- Milliard said the decision stems from all ongoing proceedings and incomplete information, noting Rizqy faces a lawsuit and was expelled last fall by Pablo Rodriguez.
- Milliard met with Rizqy twice on Wednesday, once in the morning and again shortly before announcing his decision, confirming her spouse, Liberal member of the legislature Gregory Kelley, will remain in caucus despite Rizqy’s expulsion triggering controversies that ended with Rodriguez’s resignation in December.
- Following Rizqy’s dismissal, the Liberals faced a crisis while the province’s anti-corruption unit opened an investigation and the judge last week found no corroboration for media reports.
- Milliard says he will pursue further information and follow developments in the coming weeks, while media reports alleged that around 20 donors received $500 envelopes, though The Canadian Press has not verified these claims.
