‘Ottawa’ Attorney General Madeleine Meilleur Quitting Politics
The second Liberal minister in a week has stepped down ahead of an expected cabinet shuffle.
Attorney General Madeleine Meilleur announced Thursday night that she will resign her cabinet post and as MPP for her riding, Ottawa-Vanier. Meilleur said she met with Premier Kathleen Wynne to inform her of the decision but said she will continue in both roles until a replacement is chosen.
“This was not an easy decision, but after 25 years I have reached a point in my life where I would like to spend more time with my family and be closer to home,” she said in a statement. “I have always been so proud to represent the people of Ottawa-Vanier, the most caring, diverse, and vibrant community there is.”
