Dominique Anglade is a Canadian politician who currently serves as the leader of the Quebec Liberal Party and leader of the Official Opposition of Quebec. She has served as a Member of the National Assembly of Quebec since 2015, representing Saint-Henri–Sainte-Anne. She is the daughter of academic Georges Anglade.[1]

Career

Anglade holds an MBA from HEC Montréal and a Bachelor of Industrial Engineering from the École Polytechnique de Montréal.[2]

Anglade was formerly associated with the Coalition Avenir Québec. She ran as the CAQ candidate in Fabre in the 2012 election, losing to Liberal Gilles Ouimet. She served as the president of the CAQ from 2012 to 2013.[3] She left that position to become CEO of Montreal International.[1] In 2015, she joined the Quebec Liberal Party and stood as their candidate in a by-election for Saint-Henri–Sainte-Anne. She explained her political shift by citing objections to the CAQ's positions on ethnic identity and immigration.[3] She was elected on November 9.[4]

She served in the cabinet of Philippe Couillard as the Minister of Economic Development, Innovation and Export Trade from 2016 to 2018. In 2017, she was named Deputy Premier of Quebec, holding that office until the Liberal government's defeat in the 2018 election.

On June 27, 2019, she announced her candidacy for the 2020 Quebec Liberal Party leadership election.[5] She ran of a platform of returning the party to the nationalism associated with previous leaders Robert Bourassa and Jean Lesage.[6] She was acclaimed leader on May 11, 2020, after her opponent, Alexandre Cusson, dropped out of the race.[7] Anglade is the first woman to lead the Quebec Liberal Party, and the first black woman to lead a provincial party in Quebec.[8]
