Well that's interesting!
Ouellet was the first woman to lead the Bloc Québécois from March 2017 to June 2018, but she did so while still sitting as an independent MNA in Québec City. Her leadership style led to a caucus revolt such that she was defeated in a leadership review, with only 32% of members voting in favour of retaining her as leader.
