Key Relationships & Connections
Lambropoulos's entry into politics was marked by a significant nomination victory in 2017 for a by-election in the Saint-Laurent riding. She defeated Yolande James, a former provincial cabinet minister who was reportedly the preferred candidate of the Liberal Party establishment. This victory positioned her as a grassroots candidate who won against the party's chosen contender.
Public Controversies
In 2021, Lambropoulos faced public controversy for comments made during a meeting of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Official Languages. She questioned whether the French language was in decline in Quebec, which prompted significant backlash from Quebec politicians, including Premier François Legault, and the public. She later issued a public apology for her remarks, stating that she did not express herself properly and acknowledged that the French language is in decline. She was subsequently removed from the committee by the Liberal party whip.
