Canadian politician

Paul-Émile Lamarche (December 21, 1881 – October 11, 1918) was a Canadian lawyer and political figure in Quebec. He represented Nicolet in the House of Commons of Canada from 1911 to 1916 as a Conservative.[1]

He was born in Montreal, the son of Azarie Lamarche and Julia Paquette, and was educated at the Petit Séminaire Saint-Sulpice, the Collège Sainte-Marie de Montréal and the Université Laval. He articled in law with Thomas Chase Casgrain and set up practice in Montreal.[2] Lamarche found himself in opposition to the Conservative party in the House of Commons on the issue of French language instruction in Ontario and bilingual instruction in Manitoba.[3] He resigned his seat in the House of Commons in 1916. Lamarche died two years later at the age of 36.[1]
