Joël Lightbound MP (born February 8, 1988) is a Canadian politician serving as the member of Parliament (MP) for Louis-Hébert. A member of the Liberal Party, he was first elected following the 2015 federal election.

Background

[edit ]

In 2008, Lightbound was awarded the Cardinal Roy Trophy from Champlain Regional College.[2] He later attended the McGill University Faculty of Law, where he won the National Laskin Moot.[3] He initially articled with the Montreal offices of Fasken, and prior to his election practiced law in the Quebec City area, specializing in immigration.[4]

Political career

[edit ]

Lightbound was elected in 2015.[5] He was re-elected in 2019, becoming the first MP in three decades to hold Louis-Hébert for more than one term, and again in 2021.

In February 2022, during the COVID-19 pandemic and Freedom Convoy protests, Lightbound held a press conference where he spoke out against politicians' handling of the pandemic, and denounced dismissing those with "legitimate concerns" while also calling for the convoy protesters to return home.[6] Soon afterwards, Lightbound resigned his position in the ruling party as Quebec caucus chair.[7]
