Vote 2015 – Pierrefonds–Dollard
CPAC’s Philippe Murat visits the Quebec riding of Pierrefonds--Dollard. For 18 years, the riding of Pierrefonds--Dollard was a Liberal stronghold represented by Bernard Patry. After weathering many electoral storms, especially in 2006 and 2008, Mr. Patry was defeated by the orange wave that swept through Quebec in 2011. Justin Trudeau’s team is now trying to win back the riding from incumbent NDP MP Lysane Blanchette-Lamothe. To do this they've recruited Frank Baylis, a businessman and long-time Liberal activist. However, this Liberal-NDP duel has become a three-way battle ever since Conservative candidate Valérie Assouline entered the race. Our reporter speaks with all the candidates except the Bloc Québécois’s Natalie Laplante, who was unavailable at the time of CPAC’s visit to the riding.
