The minister of Justice, Stéphanie Vallée, announced on Wednesday his departure from political life.

Elected since 2007, the member for Gatineau will not be seeking a new mandate in the elections of next October.

“I actually met with the prime minister, a few weeks ago, to inform him that I don solliciterais not a mandate at the next electoral appointment. It is a decision that is matured, it is a decision that is well thought out for a long time”, said Stéphanie Vallée Wednesday morning in Quebec city, in the wake of an article that had fanned the new.

The minister Valley said it would take a “break” from political life, without excluding a possible return.

She says they want to spend more time with his spouse and children. “I have the pleasure of being with my world. I want to be with my spouse. I have the desire to spend time with my son then with my daughter,” she said.

The minister of Justice, who remains on the job until the end of the term, has admitted to having had certain mandates that are difficult, including the answer to the judgment in Jordan, which imposes a maximum time limit for a trial – as well as the draft law 62 on the face found in the interactions with the agents of the State.

“To make policy, it is live with the controversy; making policy, it is sometimes grow to the folders which are not necessarily always popular,” said Stéphane Vallée.

“Then, it is certain that on the human level, I must admit that sometimes it is a little bit difficult in the daily life of always having to answer your questions, respond to objections, which we reprove, and sometimes to personalize the debate, she continued. But, once we crossed the storm, we go, roll up the hair, brushing a little dust from the face and then it continues.”

The minister says that he does not have career plans after his exit from the policy. “I’m not there,” she said.
