At the request of the family, the SPVQ issued a missing person's notice on Wednesday to find Audrey Gagnon, 23, and her daughter Rosalie.
Late in the afternoon, the police located the young mother in the area of Gaspard Avenue in Quebec City, but without the girl.
The child was found unresponsive in a residence in Charlesbourg, and was subsequently transported to hospital.
On Wednesday morning, a citizen reported the presence of an empty stroller near Bon-Air Park, in the Charlesbourg area.
The police investigation determined that the stroller belonged to Audrey Gagnon, a resident of Quebec City.
Gagnon wil be questioned by police, as well as a man who was present at the time of the discovery. Both parties are being treated as "important witnesses," a spokesperson for Quebec City police said.
