Pierre Moreau is back in Quebec politics.
A Liberal party brunch was held Sunday in south shore Mercier to mark his return.
Among those in attendance, premier Couiillard and nearly half of the Liberal MNA's and a good portion of cabinet ministers.
The Chateauguay MNA and cabinet minister spent nearly a year away from politics batling meningitis.
Moreau had kind words for Health Minister Gaetan Barrette’s handling of the Quebec health care system.
"It’s a very good system, it’s one of the best in the world,” said Moreau.
"That’s what I’ve experienced from the inside… I’m hoping to have very good health and I’m hoping this situation will continue forever.”
Barrette replied "I wish and hope that he will have to play an important role.”
"Whatever role in which he can express his great talent.”
Premier Philippe Couillard, who appointed Moreau to his current position as junior finance minister, didn't say if Moreau will now be given more responsibilities.
The National Assembly will be back in session on Feb. 7
