Gérard Lamy (May 2, 1919 – October 26, 2016) was a Canadian Social Credit Party politician. He served as a Member of the House of Commons of Canada from 1962 to 1963.[3][4]

Early life

He was born on May 2, 1919, in Grand-Mère, Quebec, and was a contractor before running for office.

Member of Parliament

Lamy successfully ran as a Social Credit Party of Canada candidate for the district of Saint-Maurice—Laflèche in the 1962 federal election, against Liberal incumbent J.A. Richard.

He was among twenty-six Social Credit members from Quebec who were elected for the first time that year.

He lost his re-election bid in the 1963 federal election, against Liberal and future prime minister, Jean Chrétien.

Attempts to make a political comeback

He also ran as a Ralliement créditiste du Québec candidate in the 1970 provincial election in the district of Saint-Maurice and as a Progressive Conservative candidate in the district of Champlain in the 1979 federal election, but was each time defeated.

Lamy did not run again after 1979.
