QUEBEC — The Parti Québécois leadership race veered into a public frenzy yesterday over how long the campaign's front-runner used cocaine and whether he will be forced to drop out.
This week, leading candidate André Boisclair admitted he used cocaine when he was a PQ cabinet minister in the late 1990s. One of his former cabinet colleagues, François Gendron, suggested yesterday that Mr. Boisclair's cocaine use might have stretched over a long period of time.
"I can tell you frankly that I was aware of the rumours. They had been circulating for a long time," said Mr. Gendron, the longest-sitting member of the National Assembly.
"If there are things left to clean up it will be up to him to do it and I hope he cleans them up."
Mr. Boisclair refused to say how long he used cocaine and at what point he stopped taking the illegal drug. Mr. Gendron said that when rumours persisted in cabinet, authorities whom he did not identify took matters in hand.
"Most of the [cabinet] colleagues knew about the rumours. It was up to authorities to manage the situation. I am aware that some people in authority tried to do just that, and according to my information, they probably succeeded since he doesn't take any more drugs," Mr. Gendron said.
Mr. Boisclair was never charged and no police investigation has come to light.
The darling of the PQ establishment appeared frantic yesterday and came close to breaking under pressure from reporters demanding explanations about his cocaine use.
"I want to tell you that I will stay in the race. . . . I told you I was in this race in full possession of all my faculties," Mr. Boisclair said yesterday. But then he suddenly lashed out at reporters after walking into a wall of microphones and tape recorders. He accused journalists of blocking his way to a hall packed with college students, where he was scheduled to appear.
"I am under a great deal of stress. I don't need this type of physical aggression on me on your part," he said. "Please, this type of behaviour, I'm asking you to respect the integrity of my person."
The other contenders refused to judge Mr. Boisclair on his past behaviour, but most said his use of cocaine has poisoned the race and could have a negative impact on voters.
"I have children, and the last thing I want to do is trivialize the use of cocaine," leadership hopeful Richard Legendre said yesterday.
"André has given explanations. I think he was transparent and that's good. Now let's move on and it will be up to the party members to decide."
Some candidates are uncomfortable that the front-runner has admitted to what they consider a criminal act, but they refused to question Mr. Boisclair's decision to stay in the race.
"In our legal system, a person is innocent until proven guilty and I am not in a position to condemn Mr. Boisclair's action. That would be up to a court to decide," said candidate Jean-Claude Saint-André, who has accused Mr. Boisclair of being a lightweight.
"I just want him to add substance to important questions we're asking him."
Mr. Boisclair has the support of a dozen PQ MNAs and 15 Bloc Québécois MPs. Bloc justice critic Richard Marceau said that despite admitting to having committed a crime, Mr. Boisclair should stay in the race.
Mr. Boisclair held a special meeting Sunday with his supporters in the PQ and Bloc caucuses to discuss his future, knowing the cocaine issue was about to erupt in full public view.
"We all told him that we are behind him and that he shouldn't quit," Mr. Marceau said yesterday. "Everyone there told him to stay."
The first all-candidates meeting is being held in Sherbrooke tonight and will be the first opportunity for candidates to gauge the rank-and-file members' reaction to the cocaine uproar.
Party members are to cast their votes by telephone between Nov. 13 and Nov. 15. The winner will be announced on the final day of the vote.
