Rhéal Éloi Fortin MP (French: [ʁeal fɔʁtɛ̃]) is a Canadian lawyer and politician, who is the member of the House of Commons for Rivière-du-Nord.
A lawyer by profession, he is the president of Bissonnette Fortin Giroux, a law firm in Saint-Jérôme.
[citation needed] He has been politically active ever since high school, when he volunteered to put up lawn signs for the Parti Québécois.
He ran for the Parti Québécois nomination for the election for the National Assembly of Quebec for Prévost, but lost to Gilles Robert.
He served as the BQ's critic for intergovernmental affairs, human rights, justice, and access to information in the House of Commons until February 2018, when he and six other Bloc MPs quit the caucus and formed the Groupe parlementaire québécois in protest of Martine Ouellet's leadership style.
