“Your family project is more than legitimate,” she said. “The journey can be trying and I wish you all a chance to hold your little bundles of happiness soon.”

She also thanked her medical team.

Like with her first baby, Gabriel, who is 14 months old, Rizqy had to go to a fertility clinic for this second pregnancy.

Focusing on family, the politician will not be running for the Liberal leadership to succeed Dominique Anglade she told “Le Journal de Québec” during her interview. Adding however, that she is not closing the door to running for the leadership of her party when her children are older.
