Eric Girard (Groulx MNA)

Eric Girard, born on October ninth, nineteen sixty-six, is a prominent Canadian politician and economist. He has made significant strides in the political landscape of Quebec, having been elected to the National Assembly in the two thousand eighteen provincial election. Representing the electoral district of Groulx, Girard is a dedicated member of the Coalition Avenir Québec and has held the esteemed position of Minister of Finance since his election.

Before entering the political arena, Girard amassed over twenty years of experience as a senior manager at the National Bank of Canada. His extensive background in finance and management has equipped him with the skills necessary to navigate the complexities of public finance and economic policy.

In two thousand fifteen, Girard was recognized as a star candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada, where he contested in the Montreal riding of Lac-Saint-Louis during the federal election. Although he finished in a distant second place to the Liberal incumbent, Francis Scarpaleggia, this experience laid the groundwork for his future political endeavors.

Ultimately, in two thousand eighteen, Girard successfully secured his position as the Coalition Avenir Québec MNA in the suburban Montreal riding of Groulx, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his political career.
