Bloc Quebecois leader Daniel Paillé is stepping down as leader of the federal separatist party due to health reasons.
"I am leaving as a preventive measure, for myself and for the party," said Paillé.
"For several months I've had feelings of illness, and a diagnosis has determined it's a form of epilepsy. It's rare, it's manageable, but in a lifestyle that is stable, that is a normal lifestyle."
Paillé said that being in politics requires extraordinary endurance and that is not something he is able to provide any longer.
"Life in politics requires extra endurance. It's not a full-time job, it's a job that requires your whole life."
