According to this article, France Beaulieu won the Liberal nomination for Saint-Maurice-Champlain which was held a few days ago. The main thrust of the article, however, is that former ADQ House Leader Sébastien Proulx, who had been wooed by Denis Coderre and the Liberals. The article also says that despite Coderre's wooing, the local Liberal association in Trois-Rivières would be opposed to him as a candidate, are organizing a nomination run by riding association president Jean Boulet. 2008 candidate and Young Liberal Marcos Simard is also interested in running again.
