Joël Arseneau is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the National Assembly of Quebec in the 2018 provincial election.[1] He represents the electoral district of Îles-de-la-Madeleine as a member of the Parti Québécois.
Arseneau previously served as mayor of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine from 2005 to 2013.[2] He was removed from office on fraud charges resulting from delayed expense claim payments.[3] Although he was acquitted of the charges on the grounds that the issue was a personal accounting error rather than a deliberate attempt to defraud the municipality, he was barred in 2015 from running for municipal office for five years,[4] leading to some controversy when his selection as a Parti Québécois candidate for the provincial legislature was announced.[5]
