Laval Centre
Bruno Fortier has been an administrator, lawyer, and urban planner. He was for many years a close friend of prominent Canadian politician Jean Charest
, whom he first met in high school. When Charest ran for the Progressive Conservative Party leadership
in 1993, Fortier became the leadership campaign's organizer in Laval
.
Fortier received 4,548 votes (7.98%) in the 1993 election for a third-place finish against Bloc Québécois
candidate Madeleine Dalphond-Guiral
. He later worked for the "non" side in the 1995 uebec referendum on sovereignty, and he assisted the Quebec Liberal Party under Charest's leadership in the 2003 Quebec provincial election
.
Charest's provincial Liberals won the 2003 election, and Fortier was subsequently appointed as director of economic development at Quebec Government House of New York City
. In June 2007, he was promoted to delegate-general. In March 2008, however, he was dismissed from his office. Some reports in the Quebec media suggested that he had created a chaotic work environment. Quebec cabinet minister Monique Gagnon-Tremblay
said that Fortier lacked the necessary judgement for the role and "undertook modifications, transformations at the delegation without ... approval." Fortier responded that the firing was "unjustly severe" and that it had been based on a complaint from a disgruntled employee. The Quebec government held public hearings on the matter in 2008, in which Charest testified that he was not involved in either Fortier's hiring or his dismissal.
In 2010, Fortier filed a statement of claim in the Quebec Superior Court
seeking $1.2 million in damages from the Quebec government over his dismissal.
