  Brigitte Martin

  A seasoned strategist and manager, Brigitte Martin has more than 25 years of experience in university, government, municipal and community settings. During more than 22 years at Université Laval, she contributed to the institution’s strategic development and international profile, establishing numerous partnerships and representing it in more than 60 countries. The Capitale-Nationale is very close to her heart. After serving as chief of staff at Quebec City Hall, she now contributes to strategic decisions concerning the region’s major files. This experience gives her a deep knowledge of Quebec City and its economic and social issues. A former municipal elected official in a small community in Chaudière-Appalaches and strongly committed to protecting natural environments, Brigitte combines political experience, knowledge of the field and genuine environmental sensitivity. She wants to put these assets at the service of the citizens of Taschereau, offering them representation equal to their expectations and to the challenges specific to the heart of the capital.

  Farnell Morisset

  An engineer and lawyer by training, Farnell Morrisset is a well-known popular science writer who breaks down the major issues shaping our society. A civil engineering graduate of Laval University, Farnell worked for five years as an international business development engineer for a company based in the Technology Park. At the same time, he was involved with organizations working to welcome and integrate immigrants in the region. He shifted his focus to law and earned his bachelor’s degree in law with a minor in economics from McGill University. Recruited by a major business law firm in New York, his career in high finance in the United States during the first Trump administration exposed him to the dangers of the centralization of power and growing economic inequality. He left New York to complete a master’s degree with distinction at the London School of Economics. Since 2021, he has been regularly posting short pieces on social media that provide information, explain complex topics in layman’s terms, and offer insights on legal, economic, and political issues in Quebec. His approach, focused on facts and dialogue, earned him a spot on La Presse’s list of the 12 “true influencers” in 2023. Back in downtown Québec City since 2024, Farnell Morrisset hopes to represent the citizens of Taschereau in the National Assembly and defend the values that ensure our freedom and collective well-being: the decentralization of power, an economy that benefits everyone, a reliable social safety net, and the preservation of our achievements for future generations.
