QUÉBEC — The leader of the Quebec Liberal Party has booted Marwah Rizqy from caucus, saying she has broken his trust.

Pablo Rodriguez issued a statement announcing his decision ahead of a scheduled news conference later today.

The Quebec Liberals have been in crisis since Rizqy — the party’s former leader in the legislature — fired her chief of staff last month without consulting Rodriguez.

Rizqy has refused to publicly state why she fired Geneviève Hinse, saying the dismissal was a human resources matter.

Rodriguez says Rizqy acted alone and not in the interests of the Liberal team.

He adds he now hopes to focus on the priorities of Quebecers.
