Duhaime says he’s confident he will make a full recovery but will be taking a step back for the next few weeks.

Last month, Duhaime indicated he would seek the opinions of party members in the Quebec riding of Arthabaska about running in the fall 2025 byelection and compete for a seat in the National Assembly.

A Leger poll published earlier this week found that 13 per cent of the Quebec electorate intended to vote for the Quebec Conservative Party.
