Catherine Fournier’s Political Reflections
During her conversation with host Sophie Durocher, Fournier acknowledged that she does not intend to remain in politics indefinitely. She emphasized the need to step back at some point in her career, as the political environment can often feel unhealthy and exhausting.
Current Focus and Future Decisions
