Who was Émile Fortin?
Émile Fortin was a Conservative member of the Canadian House of Commons. He was born in Lévis, Quebec and became a pharmacist and physician.

He was first elected to Parliament at the Lévis riding in the 1930 general election after a previous unsuccessful campaign there in the 1926 federal election.
He was appointed to the Senate for the De la Durantaye, Quebec division on 14 August 1935 but remained in that role for less than a year, until his death at a Quebec City hospital on 18 May 1936.
