OTTAWA—A Quebec Conservative has quit his post as the party’s deputy leader because he says he wants to play a role in shaping who will next lead the party.

Alain Rayes says in a statement that he wishes the party to appoint a leader who presents progressive values, centre−right economics and unite the party around a common objective of replacing the Trudeau Liberals.
