Green Party deputy leader Jonathan Pedneault to run in Montreal federal byelection
Green Party deputy leader Jonathan Pedneault is expected to announce Monday that he is running in the federal byelection in the Montreal riding of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce–Westmount.
"I always said I would be running in a Quebec riding," Pedneault told CBC when asked about his decision to run in the riding. But the first-time candidate said he expects the debate over minority rights will feature prominently in the lead-up to voting day on June 19. Pedneault criticized the federal Liberals for introducing amendments to the Official Languages Act, Bill C-13, which refers to Quebec's Charter of the French Language. The charter was modified last year when Quebec adopted the controversial Bill 96.Several Montreal Liberal MPs, including Garneau, who previously held the riding, criticized his party for referencing the controversial Quebec legislation in a federal bill.
