Marc Fournier: Jacques Dupuis

Chateauguay Dept: The riding was left vacant after former public security minister Jacques Dupuis left it this summer after 12 years, according to CTV. "I'm not taking anything for granted," said Fournier, adding that while those issues loom large, it's issues like housing and education his voters tell him they care about and monday is the second day of advanced polling before next Monday's by-election in the Liberal stronghold of St. Laurent, where Justice Minister Jean Marc Fournier is running in hopes of winning it again for the Liberals. Fournier, who served in the Chateauguay riding for 13 years, is the front-runner in the Sept. 13 by-election, but Fournier's campaign coincides with some difficult issues for the Liberals' image, including allegations of corruption, slumping poll numbers and the Bastarache commission. As reported in the news.
