Michel Dupuy (January 11, 1930 – July 9, 2023) was a Canadian diplomat, journalist, academic and politician.

Biography

Michel Dupuy was born in Paris, France, on January 11, 1930. His father, Pierre Dupuy, was also a Canadian diplomat.

Dupuy was a longtime diplomat in the Department of External Affairs. He served as Ambassador to the United Nations from 1980 to 1981 and Ambassador to France from 1981 to 1985.

Dupuy entered politics but was defeated in his attempt to win a seat in the House of Commons of Canada in the 1988 election. He was elected on his second attempt in the 1993 election as the Liberal Member of Parliament for Laval West. He immediately joined the Cabinet and served concurrently as Minister of Communications and Minister of Multiculturalism and Citizenship from 1993 until January 1996. During his tenure, the departments that he oversaw were merged into the new Department of Canadian Heritage

Dupuy came under fire for "representing a constituency in a Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) application" because he was the minister responsible for the agency and was dropped from the Cabinet.

Dupuy did not run in the 1997 election.

He died in Boucherville, Quebec, on July 9, 2023, at the age of 93.
