QUEBEC CITY – The province’s new Education Minister, Pierre Moreau, is taking a forced leave of absence.
In a brief press release, the Ministry of Education announced Moreau underwent several examinations over the last few days before being released from hospital.
Last Thursday, he was taken away from the National Assembly in an ambulance during the Quebec government’s cabinet shuffle.

Moreau previously held the post of Municipal Affairs Minister.
