Two of the best drivers in Quebec, Pascal Berube and Stephane Brosseau, are in a hotly-contested battle for leading driver status at Hippodrome 3R this season.

The Matane-Matapedia MNA made the announcement on Wednesday, saying that while the experience was “unique and enriching,” the time had come for someone else to take over. “Being parliamentary leader of a political party is demanding, both from a personal and professional point of view,” he said. “After almost three years in this position, I want to pass the torch to be able to devote myself more to my files and, above all, to my constituents.” PQ leader Paul St-Pierr...
