Well that's interesting!
Widow of Jean-Jacques Bertrand, Union nationale premier of Québec from 1968 to 1970, Gabrielle Bertrand served as the Progressive Conservative MP for Brome—Missisquoi from 1984 to 1993. Their son, Jean-François Bertrand, was the Parti Québécois MNA for Vanier from 1976 to 1985, so it is notable that she was not among the PC members who formed the Bloc Québécois.
