MONTREAL \u2013 Alexandre Boulerice, the federal MP for the Montreal riding of Rosemont\u2014La Petite-Patrie, is expected to make an announcement about his political future on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A source within Qu\u00e9bec solidaire suggests Boulerice plans to leave the NDP and run provincially with Qu\u00e9bec solidaire in Gouin, a provincial riding located in Montreal.<\/p>\n

He could aim to replace Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, former co-spokesperson for Qu\u00e9bec solidaire, who has said he will leave politics at the end of his mandate.<\/p>\n

Boulerice\u2019s exit would leave the NDP with no MPs in Quebec and just five seats, all west of Ontario.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The last remaining Quebec MP from Jack Layton\u2019s 2011 \u201cOrange Wave,\u201d Boulerice has voiced frustrations with the New Democratic Party, including disappointment over the role of French in the leadership race,\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ahead of Avi Lewis\u2019 NDP leadership win, Boulerice said a move to Qu\u00e9bec solidaire was under serious consideration, despite calls for him to stay in the NDP.<\/p>\n
