    Raphaël Déry

    Raphaël Déry

    A lawyer educated at the University of Ottawa, Raphaël Déry founded and leads the Coopérative de solidarité de la Cité des Outaouais and the Fédération intercoopérative en habitation de l'Ouest du Québec. He wants to build bridges with Gatineau citizens, both to win support for a Parti Québécois government and to foster constructive dialogue about Quebec independence. He says Outaouais has too long been neglected by successive governments and, with its unique geography, particular labour market and persistent urgent needs, deserves sustained attention. He is ready to carry this voice to the National Assembly and serve the population with conviction.
