Chartered Professional Accountant Marc-André Paquette announces that he will seek the confidence of the people of District 8 in the 2021 municipal elections in Saint-Bruno as he joins Ludovic Grisé Farand.

A resident of the sector and father of two young children, Mr. Paquette is currently a manager at the Order of Chartered Professional Accountants of Quebec and a former Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of a technology company.

He believes that in the period of economic recovery to come, the next council will have to make important decisions, and this, with the needs of the citizens in mind. For him, it is clear that this process will require listening, a lot of listening. "It will then be more than necessary to have an attentive ear in order to understand what are the concerns and interests the population and then act in full knowledge of the facts".

Mr. Grisé Farand has also indicated that the Marc-André Paquette will be part of the economic trio of the Citoyens d'abord Saint-Bruno (Citizens First Team). "In the current context, our city will need elected officials competent in finance in order to effectively manage and navigate through the challenges of the post-pandemic economy" underlines Ludovic Grisé Farand. Saint-Bruno needs elected officials of his caliber more than ever. "

Mr. Paquette is concerned about the current climate at city council and the repercussions it has on certain projects. “By virtue of my duties, I am used to reconciling several different points of view and divergent interests. It is characteristic of an organization that is doing well, when several individuals want to develop the common good. It does, however, require putting aside your ego and being open to discussion. Without collaboration, we cannot advance the structuring projects that our city badly needs ", adds the candidate.

The crematorium project located not far from his home was for him the straw that broke the camel's back. Mr. Paquette also recalls that Ludovic Grisé Farand, with his colleague Joël Boucher, were the first elected to signify their disagreement with this project and sound the alarm bells. “I buy into Ludovic’s vision and have no doubts that he will make a great mayor”. Saint-Bruno really needs a change concluded the District 8 candidate.
