ProfessionRadiologist

Prior to his election to the legislature, he was a radiologist at Montreal's Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont. He ran in the 2012 election as a candidate of the Coalition Avenir Québec in Terrebonne, but ran as a Liberal in 2014.[2] He was named Minister of Health and Social Services on April 24, 2014. His tenure as heath minister was consider controversial that Leader Philippe Couillard has instead tapped Getrude Bourdon, who resigned from her role as the CEO of the Laval University hospital to run as a candidate in the riding of Jean-Lesage if the party won the 2018 election.[3]
