CAQ Minister Benoit Charette Not Seeking Another Term in Fall Election
Charette said family reasons drove his exit, making him the 36th Coalition Avenir Québec MNA to step aside before the vote.
- On Thursday, Quebec Transport Minister Benoit Charette announced he will not seek re-election in Deux-Montagnes, becoming the 36th Coalition Avenir member to step down ahead of the fall provincial election.
- Charette cited "family reasons" for his decision, noting he had informed the CAQ of his departure "quite a while" ago to allow time for succession planning.
- During his eight years in government, Charette served as minister of the environment, infrastructure, and transport. His exit contributes to a broader exodus, with more than 30 CAQ legislature members announcing they will not run again.
- Charette pledged to remain involved in the campaign, stating he will continue his commitment to Premier Christine after the October election concludes.
- Originally elected in 2008, Charette left the Parti for the Coalition Avenir in 2011 over disagreement on independence focus. The provincial election campaign is expected to begin by the end of August.
