Alexandre Boulerice
Alexandre Boulerice MP (French pronunciation: [alɛksɑ̃dʁ(ə) bulʁis]; born June 18, 1973) is a Canadian politician who has represented the riding of Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie in the House of Commons of Canada as a member of the New Democratic Party (NDP) since the 2011 election.
He is currently the NDP's Quebec lieutenant; he was appointed as the Deputy Leader of the New Democratic Party on March 11, 2019, by party leader Jagmeet Singh. As of the 2019 federal election, Boulerice is the only NDP MP from Quebec and since the 2025 federal election, he is the only NDP MP from east of Winnipeg.
Alexandre Boulerice was born June 18, 1973, in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. He started working at age 15 as a lifeguard for the municipality and then went on to become pool manager. After his cégep years, he studied sociology at the Université de Montréal and completed graduate coursework in political science at McGill University, though he did not earn a master's degree.[citation needed]
Subsequently, he worked as a TV journalist (LCN, TVA), while being involved in his local union as vice-president of local 687 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE). He has also worked for a community group, l'Union des travailleurs et travailleuses accidentés de Montréal (UTTAM). He then became a communications consultant for CUPE.
Alexandre Boulerice has been active in the New Democratic Party since the late 1990s. He first ran in the 2008 federal election and finished in third with 16.26 percent of the vote, well behind Bloc Québécois incumbent Bernard Bigras. He then became the vice president of communications for the Quebec section of the NDP, under the presidency of Françoise Boivin.[citation needed]
In the May 2, 2011, federal election, the NDP received 30.6 per cent of the votes, which translated into 103 seats in the House of Commons, of which more than half (fifty-nine) were from Quebec. This result allowed the NDP to form the Official Opposition in the House of Commons for the first time in history. This electoral breakthrough is now known as "la vague orange" (Orange Crush). One of those seats belonged to Boulerice, who won a decisive victory with 50.8 per cent of the vote, finishing 9,700 votes ahead of Bigras. The NDP had never finished higher than third in the riding or its predecessors before.
On May 26, 2011, NDP leader Jack Layton appointed Boulerice to the Shadow Cabinet as opposition critic for the Treasury Board of Canada. In April 2012, new leader Tom Mulcair reassigned him to be Labour critic, and then as deputy Ethics and Access to Information critic.
In the 2012 leadership election, he supported Brian Topp.
