Jean Dorion (born August 17, 1942) is a Canadian politician, sociologist, and a Quebec nationalist leader.

He worked in the Government of Quebec,[3] first as political attaché for Minister of Immigration Jacques Couture, and later as Chief of Cabinet of Minister Gérald Godin when he held the responsibility of the application of the Charter of the French Language.

Dorion avowed that the CAQ's secular charter exploits 'petty prejudices' against immigrants to Quebec, and that 'I totally disagree with [the Bloc Québécois] on that point.

'[5] In August 1989, on a stroll through Old Montreal, Dorion met Hiromi, a Japanese tourist looking for directions.

She was then living in the American city of Cleveland, completing a doctoral thesis in nursing science.
