MP describes hiding under a desk, holding a colleague during Parliament shooting | CBC News
Alexandre Boulerice, MP for Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, was in an NDP caucus meeting when he heard the shots fired.
www.cbc.caAlexandre Boulerice is in the news as of April 2026 for moving from federal politics to provincial politics in Quebec. Reports indicate he plans to leave the NDP to run for Québec solidaire, likely in the Gouin riding in Montreal, with Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois exiting provincial politics. This would leave Boulerice as a prominent Quebec figure shifting from federal to provincial leadership, and it would affect the NDP’s presence in Quebec.[1][2][3]
Notes:
- Source: CBC and Yahoo Canada coverage dated April 2026, detailing Boulerice’s planned departure from the federal NDP and provincial bid with Québec solidaire in Gouin.[2][3][1]
- Boulerice has represented Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie since 2011 and has been the only NDP MP from Quebec, making this a notable party and provincial shift.[3][1]
