  "account": "The Canadian Press decision desk has projected Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon to win the Montreal-area riding of Camille-Laurin. St-Pierre Plamondon has been representing the area in the Quebec legislature since 2022. Previously known as Bourget, the riding is situated in the east-end of Montreal and includes a homeless encampment near the St-Lawrence River, where a baby was reportedly found during the election campaign. St-Pierre Plamondon was elected as the party's leader in 2020, vowing to hold a referendum if the Parti Québécois came to power. Prior to his political career, he worked as a corporate lawyer at Stikeman Elliott.",
