Michel Leblanc, former Montreal chamber of commerce head, confirmed Wednesday he will run for the Quebec Liberals in Marguerite-Bourgeoys on October 5. Liberal leader Charles Milliard revealed the nomination at a press conference, framing it as a strong economic announcement. Leblanc, an economist, stressed that Quebec's prosperity must include equity and community solidarity. Leblanc ran the chamber from 2009 to 2025, repeatedly criticized CAQ immigration policies, and was once floated for Montreal mayor. The riding, Liberal since 1966, sees incumbent Frédéric Beauchemin running elsewhere.
