Latendresse introduced Bill C-419, which would require future officers of Parliament to be able to function in both official languages without the help of an interpreter.

[2] Daniel Caron, a former ambassador of Canada to Ukraine from 2008 to 2011, was acclaimed as the NDP candidate in the district shortly thereafter.

Latendresse was born in Montreal and had a career as a child actor, starring in advertisements in the 1980s that promoted cheese in Quebec.

She also participated in several films, including Montréal vu par..., La fête des rois, Soho, Aline and Anna's Garden (Le Jardin d'Anna).

In June 2011, leader Jack Layton named Latendresse to a frontbench position in the NDP caucus, as deputy critic for democratic reform.
