The Quebec Liberals have acclaimed 46-year-old Charles Milliard as their new leader, forgoing the need for a second leadership race in less than one year.

With no other candidate accepted by the party, the Liberals formally announced Milliard as the new leader shortly after Friday’s application deadline.
