Political career
He was president of the Forum jeunesse du Bloc Québécois from 2011 to 2015 and campaigned for Mario Beaulieu in the 2014 leadership race.[3][4]
He was elected with the lowest percentage of the vote of any Member of Parliament in 2015, gaining only 28.6% of the vote due to vote splitting and a close race in his riding.
Barsalou-Duval was one of three Bloc MPs who supported Martine Ouellet's leadership during a caucus revolt and remained with the Bloc caucus when seven MPs resigned on February 28, 2018 to sit as Independents.[5]
He served as the critic of transport, infrastructure and communities in the Bloc Québécois Shadow Cabinet of the 44th Parliament of Canada.[6]
He was elected vice chair of the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities and the Standing Joint Committee on Scrutiny of Regulations in the 45th Canadian Parliament in 2025.
