Blainville, August 10, 2026 — The Quebec Liberal Party is proud to announce the candidacy of Mr. Sébastien Daoust in the Blainville riding for the upcoming general election.
A business analyst by training, entrepreneur, and educator, Sébastien Daoust has built his career at the intersection of management, entrepreneurship, and Quebec’s agri-food sector.
With a master’s degree in management science, specializing in business process optimization and information systems implementation, he led a team of business analysts for several years. He also shares his expertise with the next generation as an adjunct professor at HEC Montréal, where he continues to teach today.
Fifteen years ago, Mr. Daoust took the plunge into entrepreneurship by acquiring his own vineyard, a small business that now employs nine people. This experience gave him firsthand insight into the realities faced by Quebec entrepreneurs, particularly in the agricultural sector: bureaucratic red tape, labor issues, market development, and business succession.
Active in the wine and agri-food sectors, the PLQ candidate in Blainville serves on the boards of directors of the Conseil des vins du Québec, Marchés publics de Montréal, and the Conseil des appellations réservées et des termes valorisants.
As the father of two young daughters, Sébastien Daoust now wants to put his experience as a manager and entrepreneur to work for Quebec. Convinced that prosperity depends on more productive, competitive, and better-supported businesses, he is entering politics to reduce the administrative burden, facilitate business succession, and give greater prominence to local products and expertise.
“As an entrepreneur, I’ve spent fifteen years dealing with regulations that slow businesses down instead of helping them grow. I’m running for office in Blainville because I want to put that experience to good use: to create more productive businesses, to ensure business successors don’t give up because of red tape, and to help local products find their place in the market. I have confidence in Charles Milliard and his team to get Quebec’s economy back on track. It is also with this in mind that I want to be the voice of Blainville’s citizens, families, and businesses in Quebec City!”
— Sébastien Daoust, QLP candidate in Blainville
“Sébastien knows the business world from the inside—as a manager, an educator, and the owner of an agricultural small business. He knows what it means to hire employees, develop markets, and pass on a business. Families and entrepreneurs in Blainville need a representative who understands their daily lives and knows how to get things done. That’s exactly the kind of representative Sébastien will be in the National Assembly.”
- Charles Milliard, Leader of the Quebec Liberal Party
