“I would like to be a candidate in the next election. Like many young people in Quebec, I love Quebec, I love Quebec politics and I think we could do better, economically, on identity and the Constitution. “I would like to be a candidate in 2026,” he said while he was there to defend the Liberal project for a Quebec Constitution.

A PLQ spokesperson confirmed to Devoir that Mr. Dionne Charest fully intends to run for the PLQ in the next election.
