  Stéphane Bisaillon

  Deeply rooted in Huntingdon, Stéphane Bisaillon is an agricultural producer in Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur, where his family has farmed the land for five generations. Coming from a long farming tradition, he is intimately familiar with the realities of the rural world and the issues facing producers in the region. Known for his sense of consensus and his commitment to defending the interests of a community, he has been active for nearly 25 years within the bodies of the Fédération de l'UPA de la Montérégie, where he notably held the position of 2nd Vice-President, before being appointed 1st Vice-President of the organization last December. Invested in defending the interests of his community, he actively participates in debates concerning the future of agriculture and rural areas, particularly on environmental issues and the competitiveness of the regions. His commitment is also reflected through his role as President of the ALUS Montérégie committee, which supports agro-environmental initiatives led by agricultural producers.

  Frédéric Laplante

  Frédéric Laplante is a French teacher at the secondary school level. Our candidate from Huntingdon finds it extremely rewarding to observe Quebec youth taking ownership of our national language by learning to read, write, and speak it. His knowledge of the reality of the school system and of young people will be very useful to the Parti Québécois. "I know Napierville like the back of my hand, since a large part of my family has lived there for several generations. Academic success, the promotion of French, our food sovereignty, as well as the protection of our SMEs are the issues that matter to me," explained the Parti Québécois candidate.

  Connor Stacey

  Born and raised in Huntingdon, with a degree in political science from McGill University, Connor Stacey has chosen to dedicate his career to serving his community and promoting the development of his region. His commitment is rooted in a deep understanding of the region and the people who bring it to life: entrepreneurs, farmers, workers, families, and community leaders. His political career began working with Stéphane Billette, then the Liberal member of the National Assembly for Huntingdon (2008–2018). This initial experience gave him an inside look at the realities of the riding, the issues that directly affect residents, and the ability of local stakeholders to move their projects forward. Mr. Stacey then continued his career in the private sector as director of business development at a Quebec-based small-to-medium-sized enterprise, where he gained firsthand insight into the challenges faced by local businesses, particularly in the areas of growth, workforce, and economic development. He later put his experience to work for a federal member of Parliament, making tangible contributions to projects related to economic development and regional vitality. In this role, he deepened his understanding of the programs and funding mechanisms that enable municipalities, businesses, and organizations to bring transformative projects to fruition. His commitment, however, has never been limited to the political arena. Whether as a school board trustee for the New Frontiers School Board or through his involvement in areas such as health and sports, Connor Stacey has continued to be directly engaged in his community. These experiences have reinforced his belief that the best solutions emerge when decisions are grounded in real-world realities and developed in collaboration with the people who experience those realities every day. As a family man, Connor Stacey has chosen to stay in the region and raise his children there. Huntingdon is therefore not a district he needs to get to know: it is the area he knows, where he lives, and to which he is deeply attached. He is well aware of the region’s strengths as well as the challenges faced by families, businesses, and communities in the district.
