Bonaventure Panet (July 27, 1765 – March 12, 1846) was a businessman and politician in Lower Canada.
Panet was born in Montreal in 1765, the son of Pierre Panet, who was a lawyer and a judge,[1] and Marie-Anne Trefflé.[2] He was one of the 17 children born to the family, six of whom died in infancy.[2]
