Caron ran as a Liberal candidate in Vachon in 2018. Caron held 39 per cent of the vote with 176 of 185 polling stations reporting, followed by Gatien at 31 per cent. Quebec Liberal Party president Linda Caron replaced him as the party’s candidate in La Pinière, where she faced tough competition from the CAQ’s Samuel Gatien, a family doctor who recently entered politics.
Former health minister Gaétan Barrette announced in November 2021 that he would not run again in La Pinière, after being stripped of his duties in the Liberal shadow cabinet.

Minister of Culture and Communications Nathalie Roy was cruising to victory in Montarville with 46 per cent of the vote, with all 173 stations reporting, leading Daniel Michelin of the PQ with 19 per cent. Christine Fréchette had the task of holding the fort for the CAQ, and she was up to the challenge, receiving 48.8 per cent of the vote in the riding with 145 of 147 polling stations reporting.
