Couillard announced his candidacy for the Jean-Talon riding in the Quebec City area, replacing Margaret Delisle who did not seek re-election due to health reasons.

Pierre Arcand succeeded Couillard in the Mont-Royal riding. Couillard was renamed the Health and Social Services Minister as well as the minister responsible for the provincial Capitale-Nationale (Quebec) region. On June 25, 2008, Couillard officially announced his resignation as Minister and MNA.
