Alain Therrien MP (French pronunciation: [alɛ̃ tɛʁjɛ̃]; born July 6, 1966) is a Canadian politician who was elected to represent the riding of La Prairie in the 2019 federal election as a member of the Bloc Québécois.
On June 17, 2020, Therrien was called a "racist" by New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh after Therrien said no to a proposed motion to address systemic racism and discrimination in the RCMP; his position was the same as his party, which was to wait for the RCMP to conduct its own evaluation that is currently happening.
Singh was subsequently removed from the House of Commons after refusing to apologize.
[3] Since 2021 he has served as the Bloc Québécois House Leader and critic for democratic institutions and single tax returns in the Shadow Cabinet.
