OTTAWA — Federal Transport Minister Pablo Rodriguez is expected to resign from cabinet to seek the leadership of the Quebec Liberal party.
A federal Liberal source who was not authorized to speak publicly confirmed the news to The Canadian Press on Wednesday. It was first reported by La Presse.
Rodriguez, who is also Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Quebec lieutenant, is expected to formally announce his decision on Thursday.
The Quebec Liberals have been without a leader since Dominique Anglade resigned following her defeat in the 2022 provincial election.
