Federal Transport Minister Pablo Rodriguez is expected to resign from cabinet in order to seek the leadership of the Liberal Party of Quebec, CBC News and Radio-Canada sources say.Posted: Sep 18, 2024 10:27 AM EDT | Last Updated: 10 minutes ago
Rodriguez is expected to make a statement about his cabinet resignation on Thursday in Gatineau, Que. It is believed that Rodriguez's background as the son of an immigrant, a student in Sherbrooke, a member of the youth commission of the Quebec Liberal Party in the 1990s and a federal minister could resonate with Liberal activists. According to one source, he would bring a breath of fresh air to the provincial Liberals.
"He's somebody who brings a wealth of experience so I can't wait to see what he has to say to party members and Quebecers," Fortin said. He noted that it would be good to have "economic candidates, to have young candidates who can really portray a sense of renewal for the party."
