Aurélien Noël

Aurélien Noël (16 September 1904 – 16 December 1991) was a Liberal party member of the Canadian House of Commons. He was born in Saint-Ferdinand, Quebec and became a chartered accountant, lawyer, lecturer and professor by career.

He was first elected at the Outremont—Saint-Jean riding in a 29 May 1967 by-election, called when the previous Member of Parliament, Maurice Lamontagne, was appointed to the Senate.^[1]

As the 1968 federal election approached, Noël faced some pressure to step aside so that Maurice Sauvé, an area resident, could become the Liberal candidate for the riding, which was then renamed Outremont.^[2] However, Noël did not give way to Sauvé and was re-elected to a full term in the 28th Canadian Parliament. Noël's career in Parliament ended when he was replaced as Outremont's Liberal party candidate by Marc Lalonde for the 1972 election.^[3] Noël did not participate in another federal election since. He died on 16 December 1991.
