The president of Quebecor, however, refuses to move forward on the time where he could attempt such a return.

“God only knows”, he dropped.

“We have a leader for the Parti Québécois, Jean-François Lisée. […] I leave it to my colleagues, who I greatly esteem, to do the political work”, he added.

Mr. Péladeau has recalled that his departure from politics in may 2016, “was not [his] desire, quite the contrary”. He had made this choice for his family, he is a father of two young children.

However, “things have evolved” since then, he stressed, in his interview to the public network.

“I have a shared care arrangement sanctioned by the court, and all goes well”, he explained.

His nine-year old daughter, Romy, he would have even suggested to return to the political arena.

“She told me last week : “It is necessary that you are present, it is necessary that you can go”. Now, I don’t know if I’m going to follow his advice,” said the ex-politician, laughing.

“Is that the political life is to reconcile with the family ? I think yes”, has, however, added Mr. Péladeau.
