Louise Plamondon has become the longest-serving Member of Parliament in Canadian history, marking his 15,059th consecutive day in office and surpassing Wilfrid Laurier’s previous record. The 82-year-old, who founded the Bloc Québécois in 1990, continues to represent his riding, Bécancour-Nicolet-Saurel-Alnôbak, and plans to contest the next election. Despite the demands of his political career, Plamondon acknowledges the personal toll it has taken, especially following the recent death of his wife. His dedication to serving constituents remains strong, reflecting his belief in the importance of staying connected with the community.
