OTTAWA – A spokesperson for Nathalie Normandeau said the federal Liberals have approached the ex-deputy premier about running for them in eastern Quebec.
David Couturier told The Canadian Press in an email that Normandeau said the Liberals have been in touch with her.

His comments came right after a senior Liberal official said the party had not contacted Normandeau and has no plans to either.
Couturier said Normandeau will have no further comment on the matter.
News of her possible political return initially surfaced Monday morning via veteran political commentator Jean Lapierre.
There were also reports the 46-year-old Normandeau, who represented the eastern Quebec riding of Bonaventure between 1998 and 2011, is being courted as well by the federal Conservatives.
