## Resource

Quebec’s Labour Minister Jean Boulet shocks the political scene by announcing he won’t seek re-election in October’s provincial vote, wrapping up eight years of service across key portfolios including labour, immigration, and the economy. Speaking in his home riding of Trois-Rivières, Boulet says it’s time for new professional adventures—not tied to party polls or Premier Christine Fréchette’s leadership. His departure joins a growing wave of CAQ cabinet exits, leaving a vacancy in the labour ministry as the governing party enters a pivotal transition phase.
