Biography
[edit]Born pn April 3, 1965, in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec, Camirand obtained a bachelor's degree in ecology after studies at the Université du Québec à Montréal and became a technician in physical sciences, chemistry and biology for 20 years at the Polyvalente Saint-Jérôme and also served as a coach of an elite league hockey club.
He served as city councillor in Bellefeuille from 1999 to 2001 and in Saint-Jérôme from 2001 to his election at the legislature and was a member of the executive committee in the amalgamated city.
Camirand was nominated as an ADQ candidate in the 2007 election, after Christian Raymond's candidacy was dismissed by his own party. Raymond had made a controversial statement about immigrants to the local media.[1]
Camirand was elected to represent the district of Prévost with 39% of the vote. Parti Québécois incumbent Lucie Papineau finished a close second with 37% of the vote. Camirand took office on April 12, 2007.[2]
