Emmanuel Dubourg (born 26 December 1958) is a Canadian politician, chartered accountant and teacher from Quebec. He was the Member of National Assembly of Quebec for the riding of Viau from 2007 until 2013. On 25 November 2013, he was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in a by-election to become the Liberal Member of Parliament for the Montreal riding of Bourassa. He did not stand for re-election in 2025.

Early life and education

Born in Saint-Marc, Haiti, he emigrated to Canada in 1974.

Dubourg obtained a Master of Business Administration at Université du Québec à Montréal and has been a member of the Ordre des comptables agréés du Québec since 1987.

Career

Dubourg was a teacher at Université du Québec à Montréal, Université du Québec en Outaouais and CEGEP Montmorency. He has been honoured with several awards and citations for his work over the years, including the Governor General's Medal, the Innovation and Excellence prize from Revenue Canada in 1992 and the Black History Month Award in 2006 for his work in the black community.

Political career

Dubourg won his seat in the 2007 Quebec Provincial Election, succeeding former Liberal MNA William Cusano. After the election, was named the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Employment and Social Solidarity, a portfolio held by Sam Hamad. He was re-elected in the 2008 and 2012 general elections.

He resigned on 9 August 2013 to run for the Liberal Party of Canada's nomination in a by-election for the riding of Bourassa, triggered by incumbent Denis Coderre resigning to make an ultimately successful bid for mayor of Montreal. He was elected on 25 November 2013 with 47% of the votes. He served as the National Revenue Critic for the Liberals, but was not promoted to Cabinet when the Liberals won the 2015 election. He was, however, appointed as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Revenue, serving from December 2015 to January 2017.

Personal life

Dubourg was married to Papineau MP Marjorie Michel, his former political attaché and daughter of former Prime Minister of Haiti Smarck Michel.
