Alain Therrien MP (born July 6, 1966) is a Canadian politician who was elected to represent the ridingofLa Prairie in the 2019 federal election as a member of the Bloc Québécois. Prior to entering federal politics, he served as a member of the National Assembly of Quebec for the riding of Sanguinet from 2012[2] to 2018 as a member of the Parti Québécois.
On June 17, 2020, Therrien was called a "racist" by New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh after Therrien said no to a proposed motion to address systemic racism and discrimination in the RCMP; his position was the same as his party, which was to wait for the RCMP to conduct its own evaluation that is currently happening. Singh was subsequently removed from the House of Commons after refusing to apologize.[3]
Since 2021 he has served as the Bloc Québécois House Leader and critic for democratic institutions and single tax returns in the Shadow Cabinet.[4]
