Duceppe has had enough of politics

Gilles Duceppe has announced that he won’t return to politics nor will he join the ranks of the Parti Québécois.

According to the Canadian Press, the former Bloc Québécois leader said Sunday that he wants to rebuild his reputation and defend his integrity.

He had been reported by a Montreal newspaper La Presse as using public funds to pay the Bloc employees.

Duceppe maintains that he always acted with transparency and that he has always followed the rules.

Pauline Marois has been inviting Duceppe to join the ranks and get involved with the team, but he has declined.

Still the former leader gives the party his full confidence.

The Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs said Sunday that it would seek legal to see if the Bloc had broken parliamentary rules and if they have to repay the fund.
