André Tranchemontagne (October 15, 1939 – November 28, 2016) was a Canadian politician. He was a one-term Member of the National Assembly of Quebec.[1]
Early life
André Tranchemontagne was born in Montreal in 1939 to Leopold Lachance, a local bricklayer, and Jeanne Beaubien.[1] He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Université de Montréal in 1961 and a Bachelor of Commerce degree from HEC Montréal in 1964.[1]
While he started his career with National Railways, most of his professional life was with Molson Brewery, where he served in a variety of different research and marketing positions.[1]
During this time, he also served on a variety of local boards. Tranchemontagne was president of the 1977 Quebec Winter Carnival, and was the head of the launch committee for the Montreal Manic soccer team between 1980-1981.[1]
Political life
Tranchemontagne was elected in the 1998 election as a MNA for Mont-Royal. As the Parti Québécois formed a majority government in that election, Tranchemontagne, as a Liberal, was part of the official opposition.
Tranchemontagne decided not to run in the 2003 election. In his post-political career, he served on the board for TVA Group.[2] He died on November 28, 2016.[3]
