Charles Milliard Threatens Legal Action Against Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, Demands Apology
Charles Milliard says the PLQ will sue unless Paul St-Pierre Plamondon retracts remarks and apologizes after linking the party to organized crime.
- Quebec Liberal Party leader Charles Milliard demanded a retraction from Parti leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon over remarks linking the PLQ to organized crime, giving him 72 hours to comply or face legal action.
- During his party's year-end review on Friday, Plamondon questioned funding practices amid an ongoing UPAC probe into the 2025 leadership race that elected Pablo Rodriguez.
- Recent allegations surfaced that a fundraising event host handed back $500 in cash to roughly 20 attendees to cover their donations, prompting Plamondon to ask if the funds originated from organized crime.
- Refusing to retract the statements, Plamondon asserted he was posing a "perfectly plausible" hypothesis rather than making an accusation. Milliard called the remarks "irresponsible, defamatory and unworthy" of a leadership candidate.
- The Parti leader faces potential legal consequences for comments made outside the National Assembly, where he lacks immunity afforded to legislative debates, though Milliard said he remains open to dialogue.
