Jean-Claude Scraire

Jean-Claude Scraire (born 1946) is a Québécois lawyer, separatist, nationalist and former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDP).

A member of the Barreau du Québec, he began his career as an attorney for a private firm specializing in commercial law.

From 1974 to 1981, he held various management positions within the nationalist separatist Parti Quebecois administration, most notably at the ministère de la Justice.

[citation needed] The development of the Quartier international de Montréal to which he actively participated—and of which the Centre CDP Capital is a major element, was the object of professional and public acknowledgment and recognition on numerous occasions.

In May 2002, after seven years at the helm of the CDP, he released his recommendations regarding the governance of the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec: Modernizing to ensure a stronger future.
