Michel Charbonneau (born September 23, 1948) is a Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of Saint-Jean in the National Assembly of Quebec from 1989 to 1994.
Born and raised in Napierville, Quebec, Charbonneau served as a municipal councillor and mayor of Napierville before being elected to the legislature in the 1989 election.[1] In the legislature, he served as chair of a task force on reform of trucking regulations in the province.[2]
In the 1994 election, he was initially declared to have been narrowly defeated by Roger Paquin of the Parti Québécois.[3] After a judicial recount, however, the two were found to have finished in an exact tie, necessitating a new by-election to determine the winner.[4] Paquin won the by-election.[5]
