Quebec’s second-largest opposition party has elected Émilise Lessard-Therrien as its new co-spokeswoman.

Québec solidaire, which has 12 seats in the province’s 125-seat legislature, doesn’t have a traditional leader but instead operates with two co-spokespeople--one man and one woman--as the left-wing party’s public face.
