Well that's interesting!
During the 2019 federal election campaign, it was found that Desbiens, running for the Bloc Québécois, had written on Facebook in 2013 in favour of the proposed Charter of Québec Values to avoid that "Our daugh­ters, grand-daughters and great-grand-daughters could have to wear a veil to go to the IGA for fear of going to prison in a few years." It was also found that in 2016, she had praised far-right French politician Marine Le Pen. She was forced to apologize for these comments during the campaign, and was elected.
