QUEBEC CITY – In the near future, Québec solidaire (QS) could have non-binary spokespeople, even a trans woman and a trans man.
This is what the outgoing spokesperson for QS, Manon Massé, said at a press conference Wednesday.
The party’s statutes currently provide for one female and one male spokesperson, but members could very well decide otherwise by changing the rules, according to Massé.
The race to succeed Manon Massé is well and truly on since the announcement of her departure and already, MNA Ruba Ghazal said she will run, while Émilise Lessard-Therrien and Christine Labrie are still considering it.
Massé called on women to come forward to take their place, but added that everyone can run and that they will see with the members how to adjust.
This report was first published in French by The Canadian Press on Wednesday, May 24, 2023.
