René Serge Larouche (born February 27, 1944) is a former Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of Anjou in the National Assembly of Quebec from 1988 to 1991.
A marketing consultant,[1] he was first elected as a Quebec Liberal Party MNA in a by-election on June 20, 1988, following the resignation of Pierre-Marc Johnson during the 33rd Quebec Legislature, defeating former Parti Québécois cabinet minister Pauline Marois.[2] He was re-elected in the 1989 Quebec general election, defeating PQ candidate Louise Laurin;[3] however, following the Oka Crisis of 1990, he quit the Liberal Party caucus on the grounds that he was opposed to the government negotiating with "terrorists".[4]
He sat the remainder of his term in the assembly as an independent, until resigning the legislature on June 19, 1991.[5]
