Janvier Grondin (born on June 16, 1947 in Saint-Jules, Quebec) is a politician in the province of Quebec, Canada. He currently represents the Beauce-Nord district at the National Assembly of Quebec and is a member of the Action démocratique du Québec (ADQ).
Prior to being elected, he served as Mayor of Saint-Jules (Beauce) from 1993 to 2003. He was also an administrator for the Union des producteurs agricoles (UPA), the vice-president of Regie Intermunicipale Beauce, the president of the CLSC Beauce-Centre and an administator for the Saint-Jules Chamber of Commerce
Grondin was first elected as a Member of the National Assembly in the 2003 election, with 46% of the vote. The Liberal incumbent Normand Poulin finished second with 38% of the vote.
In 2006, Grondin claimed that an influential Liberal supporter, tried to convince him not to run in the 2007 election in order to favour the election of Liberal candidate Claude Drouin. Grondin claims that a well paid job in the public service, which he declined, was offered to him. Liberal leader and Premier of Quebec Jean Charest denied the accusation and dared Grondin the tell the public who made the offer. Grondin said that if Charest called him personally, he would be glad to do so, but Charest refused.[1] [2]
In the 2007 election, Grondin was easily re-elected with 63% of the vote. Claude Drouin finished second with 27% of the vote.
