He received his education in Sherbrooke and went on to establish a successful career as a bank manager, director of various companies, and manufacturer.

Dubuc's political journey began when he was first elected to the House of Commons of Canada representing the Chicoutimi riding in the nineteen twenty-five general election as an Independent Liberal. He was re-elected in the nineteen twenty-six federal election, showcasing his strong support within the community.

His efforts included promoting a rail link between Baie-des-Ha!-Ha! and Chicoutimi, as well as supporting the establishment of paper mills in Chandler and La Baie. In recognition of his contributions, the Dubuc Bridge (Pont Dubuc) spanning the Saguenay River at Chicoutimi was named in his honor.
