We are pleased to announce that Alexandre Cloutier, candidate for the leadership of the Parti Québécois, will be our keynote speaker for the 2015 Boat Race Event.
Mr. Cloutier is considered a rising star in his party and has received several high-profile endorsements since he entered the Parti Québécois leadership race. In 2012, Mr. Cloutier became the youngest minister in the government of Quebec when Pauline Marois appointed him Minister responsible for Canadian Intergovernmental Affairs, Canadian Francophonie and Sovereignist governance.
He has been a member of the Québec Bar since 2002, having completed Master's degrees in public international law at the University of Cambridge in England and in constitutional law, at the Université de Montréal.
Before getting into politics, Mr. Cloutier practiced constitutional and administrative law at Fasken Martineau’s Montréal office. He was also a lecturer at the University of Ottawa and clerked at the Supreme Court of Canada in the Chambers of the Honourable Mr. Justice Charles D. Gonthier. He got his first taste of politics when he worked in the House of Commons as an advisor to Stéphan Tremblay, the Bloc Québécois MP for Lac-Saint-Jean-Saguenay.
