Couillard loses another trusted hand as Martin Coiteux announces he won't run again
The former HEC prof, who juggled 2 contentious portfolios, said he wants to spend more time with his family
Martin Coiteux, who led the Liberal government's response to last year's flooding and passed a series of major municipal reforms, announced Friday he won't run in October's provincial election. 
Coiteux is among the most trusted figures in Premier Philippe Couillard's cabinet. He is currently both minister of public security and municipal affairs, as well as the minister responsible for the Montreal region. 
Before that he served as president of the Treasury Board — an influential, if thankless, position in which he was responsible for many of the cost-cutting measures that characterized the first years of Couillard's term in office. 
Coiteux is the third member of Couillard's cabinet to announce his departure in the lead-up to the election. At least nine other Liberal MNAs have also said they won't be running
Though the Liberals are being edged out by the Coalition Avenir Québec in most opinion polls, Coiteux insisted his party's uncertain fortunes had no role to play in his decision.
