Biography
Robert Perron (18 August 1915 – 11 October 1982) was a Progressive Conservative party member of the Canadian House of Commons and a lawyer.
He was educated at Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatiere College, then at Université Laval where he graduated with a Bachelor of Civil Law (LL.L) degree. Perron was appointed Queen's Counsel on 19 October 1955.
He was first elected to Parliament at the Dorchester riding in the 1953 general election. He served only one term, the 22nd Canadian Parliament, then was defeated by Joseph-Armand Landry of the Liberal party in the 1957 election. Perron made another attempt to win back the Dorchester riding in 1963, but was unsuccessful in unseating Social Credit incumbent Pierre-André Boutin. Perron was also unsuccessful when he campaigned at the Quebec East riding in the 1965 election.
