Clifford Blais

Clifford Blais (born ca. 1956) is a family physician in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He declared his intention to run in the 2006 Liberal Party of Canada leadership race, but did not file nomination papers with the party.

Blais is a former member of the sovereigntist Parti Québécois. He announced his intention to see the Liberal Party leadership on April 3, 2006. "I'm not expecting to win," he told the Canadian Press. Blais said that he sought to advocate for policy positions including a larger role for the private sector in health care delivery, and for respect for provincial jurisdiction that he believed might win Quebec sovereigntists over to the federal Liberal party.
