SAINT-HYACINTHE — Bloc Québécois MP Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay has confirmed he’ll resign his seat in the House of Commons to run for the Parti Québécois in the fall provincial election.
Savard-Tremblay says he’ll sit as an Independent for the rest of the federal parliamentary session before resigning at the start of the summer break.
He made the announcement in St-Hyacinthe, Que., east of Montreal, alongside the leaders of both the Parti Québécois and the Bloc.
Savard-Tremblay has represented the St-Hyacinthe-Bagot-Acton riding since 2019 and plans to seek the nomination in the same area at the provincial level.
