S South Dept: The seat, a Quebec Liberal party stronghold, was left vacant when former Public Security Minister Jacques Dupuis resigned in August, according to CBC. Fournier was first elected to the national assembly in 1994 for the Ch teauguay riding on Montreal's south shore. He served as minister for several departments before deciding to take break from politics in 2008 and voters in the Montreal riding of Saint-Laurent are heading to the polls Monday for a provincial byelection. The Saint-Laurent riding has been represented by a Liberal since its creation in 1966, and candidate Jean-Marc Fournier is hoping that statistic remains true after polls close. As
reported in the news.
