LeBlanc said he was honoured to receive the uncontested endorsement from the members of Shediac-Beaubassin-Cap-Pelé. “When I embarked on this adventure at the municipal level, I wanted to make a difference and help build a better future for our people. I now want to make these same contributions for the people of Shediac-Beaubassin-Cap-Pelé at the provincial level and continue the excellent work that has been carried out in our riding by our MLA Victor Boudreau,” said LeBlanc.
