Louis Germain

Special Advisor

Louis’ career has been driven and motivated by his commitment to developing an integrated vision of economic, social, and environmental dimensions. He has over 35 years’ professional experience, including more than 20 years in the senior public service as General Manager, notably in the energy, environment and economic sectors.

Over the course of his career, Louis has overseen several major strategic public policies and numerous bills.
His stints in key positions in the departments of the executive council, economy, finance and environment have given him a broad vision of the major issues in these fields, and an in-depth knowledge of the workings of government. For the past ten years, he has served as Director General, Electricity and Renewable Energy Development, at the Quebec Ministry of Energy and Renewable Resources, then at the Quebec Forest Industry Council, where he led the energy transition file.

Louis holds a master’s degree in science from the Institut national de la recherche scientifique. He has sat on a number of boards, most recently those of Collaboration santé internationale, which works in the field of humanitarian aid, and Escapades musicales de la Cité, which presents the annual Vibrances chamber music festival in Quebec City at the end of summer.
