MONTREAL - Cremazie voters won't be seeing Lisette Lapointe's name on the ballot in the next provincial election.
Lapointe quit as PQ MNA to sit as an Independent in June 2011 along with Pierre Curzi and Louise Baudouin.
The 68-year-old entered politics late in life, having been elected to the National Assembly for the first time in 2007 after working as a car shop manager, journalist and political aide. She also once led a battle against the province's no-fault auto insurance policy.
She married former PQ Premier Jacques Parizeau in 1992.
At her press conference Sunday, Lapointe said that had she been younger, she would have run for election under the banner of fellow PQ defector Jean-Martin Aussant's National Option.
She reserved many of her remarks Sunday to plead for the separation of Quebec.
Louise Beaudoin and Pierre Curzi are said to be undecided yet as to whether they will run again in the upcoming provincial election.
