DescriptionAnother Parti Québécois member of the national assembly, Deux-Montagnes MNA Benoît Charette, is about to leave the party, Radio-Canada is reporting.

The report said Charette's decision to quit is not so much an attack on leader Pauline Marois, but comes from a dissatisfaction with the PQ as a whole.

Charette, 34, is the party's immigration critic and is one of the 12 younger members of the PQ who recently signed an open letter addressed to former premier Jacques Parizeau, asking him to allow the young blood of the party to lead the way to sovereignty.

Charette has a news conference scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday.
