OTTAWA — Two of the seven MPs who quit the Bloc Quebecois three months ago over Martine Ouellet’s leadership are rejoining the party with her departure imminent.
Michel Boudrias and Simon Marcil are returning to the fold, while the five others will stay in the new party they are setting up.
Rheal Fortin, one of the five, said Wednesday the decision to not return was based on Bloc members voting last weekend to make Quebec independence front and centre of the party’s daily discussion.
“The Bloc Quebecois we left is still there,” Fortin said.
