Ex-MP Claude Surprenant sues CAQ for millions amid political drama
Monday, May 5, 2025, 12:21 pm
Former MP Claude Surprenant has filed a lawsuit seeking over three million dollars in damages against CAQ officials and the provincial prosecutor. His legal action, rooted in a controversial exclusion dating back to 2017, underscores enduring political rivalries—with a dash of courtroom theatrics that even defamation claims can’t escape.
Il lui reproche de l’avoir exclu en 2017 sur la base de fausses informations et de n’avoir rien fait pour sa réputation.
L’ex-député Claude Surprenant a annoncé lundi qu’il intentait une poursuite de plus de 3 millions contre le Procureur général et la Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ).
