Political History
In 2000 in Lévis, Bloc Québécois candidate Antoine Dubé defeated Liberal
Shirley Baril to win a third term. He resigned in 2003 to run for the Parti
Québécois in the provincial election. In the 2003 byelection, Liberal
Christian Jobin defeated BQ Maxime Fréchette. In Lotbinière-L'Erable in 2000,
BQ Odina Desrochers defeated Liberal Luc Dastous by 2,788 votes to win a
second term. Liberals and the BQ could be in a close race in the newly
configured riding.
Liberal Raynald Guay was MP for Lévis from 1963 to 1980 when he resigned
and was appointed to the Anti-Dumping Tribunal. Liberal Gaston Gourde won in
the 1981 byelection, but was defeated in 1984 by Progressive Conservative
Gabriel Fontaine who served two terms. Fontaine was facing charges on 14
counts of fraud, breach of trust and conspiracy and Kim Campbell wouldn't
authorize him as a PC candidate in 1993.
Lotbinière and Lotbinière-L'Erable elected Andre Fortin for Ralliement
Créditiste in 1968 and for Social Credit in 1972. He was the leader of the
Social Credit party after Real Couette. Fortin was killed in an auto
accident. SC Richard Janelle won the 1978 byelection and again in 1979. He
joined the Progressive Conservative party in 1979, but was defeated in 1980
by Liberal Jean-Guy Dubois. PC Maurice Tremblay won in 1984 and 1988. In
1992, he was convicted of using $5,000 from the parliamentary budget to pay
for a trip to Acapulco for three members of his riding association and their
spouses. He was fined $12,000. In 1993, BQ Jean Landry was elected.
