A former Parkland resident and former Manitoba PC cabinet minister has won the Conservative nomination to run in the upcoming federal election in Winnipeg South.
Janice Morley-Lecomte, who grew up in the Cayer area and attended school in Ste. Rose, will run against Liberal cabinet minister Terry Duguid in the next federal election, which could happen as early as this spring.
Between 2016 and 2023, Morley-Lecomte served two terms as the Progressive Conservative MLA for the Winnipeg constituency of Seine River, also spending eight months in the cabinet as the Minister of Mental Health and Community Wellness in the short-lived Heather Stefanson government.
