Simon-Pierre Diamond candidate in Vachon

Saint-Hubert, May 31, 2010 – Simon-Pierre Diamond will be the QLP candidate for the upcoming by-electing in the riding of Vachon.  Jean Charest, the Quebec Premier and QLP leader, made the announcement alongside the new candidate.  The by-election became necessary following the resignation of PQ MNA Camil Bouchard last January.

“I am proud to carry the banner for the QLP in Vachon and grateful for the trust of Premier Jean Charest.  Now, I want to earn this trust from all my fellow citizens in the riding. The job of an MNA – and I know this well – is to listen, understand the problems and solve them to the best of one’s abilities”, added Simon-Pierre Diamond.

“I am pleased by Simon-Pierre Diamond’s decision to joint the QLP.  He is a young man with the courage to go with his convictions, who is very talented and who believes strongly that political action can make Quebec better and take us further.  His energy, ideas and passion will reinvigorate the riding of Vachon, our Party and our whole team”, said Mr. Charest. 

A Law graduate aged 25, Simon Pierre Diamond hails from a new generation of Quebecers who believe strongly in political action. First elected to the National Assembly in 2007 as the youngest ever MNA in Quebec history, Simon-Pierre Diamond was a President of the ADQ Youth Commission, and later the ADQ general manager.

“My priorities have not changed, and they are precisely the same as those of the QLP: economy, family and healthcare.  The latest budget is in fact a clear illustration of the courage, audacity and sense of responsibility that drive me and brought me to politics: preparing the future instead of anticipating the next poll.”, concluded the candidate.
