Alex Boissonneault becomes Quebec government’s director of communications
Posted October 29, 2026 2:39 pm.
Former PQ MNA Alex Boissonneault, defeated in Arthabaska in the Oct. 5th election, becomes the director of communications and spokesperson for Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon.
A government spokesperson confirmed the information Thursday morning.
Boissonneault was one of the rising stars of the small PQ team before it took power.
Elected in a by-election in Arthabaska in 2025 against Conservative Éric Duhaime, Boissonneault could aspire to the Holy Grail: his leader suggested during the last election campaign that he would obtain a ministerial post, but this was not enough to ensure his re-election and it was rather the Conservative candidate who won.
When approached leaving the Executive Council building on Wednesday afternoon, Boissonneault declined to confirm that he would be appointed to a new government position.
