US EditionJulien will support Jolin-Barrette if he runs for CAQ leadership
Transport Minister Jonatan Julien supports Justice Minister Simon Jolin-Barette as a strong new-generation candidate to lead the Coalition Avenir Québec, pending his decision to run.
- In a message posted Saturday, Julien said he would support the current Minister of Justice if he runs for CAQ leader, praising his parliamentary record.
- Following François Legault's resignation, MNAs including Shirley Dorismond and Mario Asselin urged Jolin‑Barette to run, though he remains on the sidelines after posting thanks Friday.
- Several senior ministers, including Christine Fréchette, said Thursday they are considering bids, with Gilles Bélanger backing Fréchette and others, like Eric Girard, remaining cautious.
- The party says rules of the race are to be announced shortly, and ministers who wish to stand must resign their posts, with ten months left in the mandate shaping the contest.
- A wide range of figures may be tempted to run, including Geneviève Guilbault, Sonia LeBel, and former Public Security Minister François Bonnardel, while several say it's too early or they need rule clarity.
