Here’s the latest I can confirm based on recent reporting:
Sona Lakhoyan Olivier, the MNA for Chomedey, remains ousted from the Quebec Liberal Party in the wake of an ethics investigation. The ethics commission found serious concerns about her handling of resources and actions during leadership campaigns, and the party has stated she will not be returning to the Liberal caucus or running under the party banner in the upcoming provincial election. This development was reported on May 7, 2026, by CBC and referenced in coverage of the ongoing ethics process.[1]
Background context: Lakhoyan Olivier was elected as a Liberal MNA in 2022 (Chomedey) and was previously associated with the Quebec Liberal Party leadership contest in 2025. She was expelled from the Liberal caucus in December 2025 pending the ethics investigation, and the party reaffirmed that exclusion as the inquiry proceeded.[2][4]
Ongoing status: As of the latest reports, the ethics commission’s findings prompted the party to maintain her exclusion and indicate she would not be permitted to run under the Liberal banner in the fall provincial election, highlighting a formal separation from the party’s caucus during the investigation.[4][1]
