Looks good. I'm also interested, but it depends on schedule. I'm
thinking about a day trip rather than something overnight. I've been
hiking in Algonquin and Gatineau parks in Ontario and both of them were
definitely worth the effort. I expect Quebec parks to offer nothing less.

Let's talk off the list and see if we can find non-conflicting time for
a walk.
