Argenteuil provincial election features nine candidates

Nine candidates are competing for the Argenteuil seat in the provincial election scheduled for October 5. Key candidates include Julie-Andrée Numainville for Coalition avenir Québec, Pierre Nantel for the Parti québécois, and Émilie Jutras for the Parti libéral du Québec.

Émilie Jutras, a community agriculture coordinator based in Lachute, has highlighted critical local issues such as the reduction of services at the Lachute hospital and the limited operating hours of the Grenville community health centre. She proposes increasing investments in home care for seniors and telemedicine to alleviate hospital pressure.

Other candidates are focusing on distinct regional priorities: Marie-France Lemay of the Parti conservateur du Québec is emphasizing the cost of living and the completion of Highway 50, while Pénéloppe Dagenais-Lavoie of Québec solidaire is advocating for housing rights and food accessibility.
