About Patrice
After several years in media, public affairs, and association management, I made the leap into provincial politics with the Quebec Liberal Party.
Born in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, I hold a bachelor's degree in political science and history from the Université de Montréal. I began my career in media, including roles at regional radio station CFLV, The Canadian Press, and CKAC 730.
Building on my communications and journalism experience, I moved into public affairs and government relations, serving as a spokesperson for recognized organizations including Culinar, Domtar, and the Casino de Montréal.
As an experienced manager, I brought my expertise to the association sector as executive director of the Quebec Brewers Association. In that role, I represented the brewing industry before government bodies and business partners, developing an in-depth understanding of industrial and regulatory issues.
I currently serve as executive director of the Association des producteurs maraîchers du Québec, where I oversee operations at Place des producteurs on Pie-IX Boulevard in Montréal, one of Eastern North America's largest wholesale fruit and vegetable markets. This strategic role has given me a strong command of agri-food and supply-chain issues that are central to Saint-Jean's regional economy.
His commitment
A strong voice for Saint-Jean
My commitment to regional economic development goes beyond my professional responsibilities. Convinced that Saint-Jean deserves a strong voice in the National Assembly, I want to give this work my very best and put my expertise to work for residents.
Workforce challenges in the industrial and agricultural sectors are a priority, particularly as retaining skilled workers becomes increasingly critical. Urban mobility and the upkeep of public infrastructure are also among the issues I care deeply about.
I also want to address the rising cost of living and the erosion of our community's social fabric. My extensive network across agricultural, industrial, and association sectors makes me a candidate who can advocate for our local priorities in the National Assembly with credibility and rigour.
Choose the future
A prosperous economy serving a strong, inclusive community
I am proud to be part of Charles Milliard's team. He is committed to building a prosperous economy. The economy is central to our discussions because it is the foundation of all our collective ambitions and the key to funding quality public services. I believe in a stronger, more inclusive community for every resident of the Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu riding.
