There was much speculation that Monette would run for the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party in the 2011 Ontario general election. However,on March 2,2011,he announced he would not be running. He switched to the Tories after disagreement with the policies of Premier Dalton McGuinty.
Monette resides in Queenswood Heights with his wife and three children. On June 13,2018 he announced he would not seek re-election in the 2018 municipal election.

In March 2009,Monette attempted to block atheist slogans from being advertised on OC Transpo buses in an Ottawa City Council motion,despite a legal opinion that such censorship would probably fail in a court challenge. [3]
Bob Monette is firmly in favour of the Corridor 5 (Kettle Island) option for an interprovincial bridge between Ottawa and Gatineau. According to a report released by the consultants engaged to explore bridge options (www.ncrcrossings.ca),a bridge at Kettle Island would result in severe congestion at key intersections along Aviation Parkway for East-West traffic between Ottawa and Orleans.[ citation needed ]
