Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet has tested positive for COVID-19.

A notice from the party said Blanchet is doing “perfectly well” but will follow Quebec public health instructions and remain in isolation at his residence in Shawinigan until September 26.

Blanchet went into isolation alongside his wife, Nancy Déziel, after she tested positive for COVID-19.

Many of his caucus members and staffers are also in self-isolation as a precaution after a staff member contracted COVID-19.

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole and his family have been tested for COVID-19 after one of his staff members received a positive diagnosis.

A member of the Parliamentary Protective Service (PPS) also tested positive on Sept. 10.

The developments come as MPs are set to return to Ottawa for the resumption of Parliament. The session is set to begin Wednesday with a speech from the throne.

There is ongoing debate over how the House of Commons can ensure public health guidelines are followed. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Health Minister Patty Hajdu have called for virtual voting to allow participation from all MPs who are not present in the Chamber.
