Who is Claude Patry?
Claude Patry is a Canadian Member of Parliament for the riding of Jonquière—Alma, first elected in the 2011 Canadian federal election. He was elected as a member of the New Democratic Party, but crossed over to the Bloc Québécois on February 28, 2013. He succeeded Jean-Pierre Blackburn of the Conservative Party, who was Veterans Affairs Minister.
Patry was president of the Syndicat national des employés de l'aluminium d'Arvida, the union representing Rio Tinto Alcan workers in the riding.
Following his defection to the Bloc in 2013, Patry stated that "he voted for sovereignty in the 1980 and 1995 referendums and that he still hopes Quebec will one day become a country".
