Laframboise served as mayor of Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix and Reeve of the Papineau MRC before getting into federal politics. In the Canadian federal election, 2000, Laframboise was elected to the Canadian House of Commons as the Bloc Québécois candidate in the riding of Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel. He was easily re-elected in the 2004, 2006 and 2008 elections, however he was defeated in the 2011 election by NDP Mylène Freeman. A former notary, he is the former Bloc critic to the Minister of Transport, and is their current critic to the Minister of Infrastructure. He was also, vice-president of the federal permanent committee of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.[1]

Priorities

His recent priorities is centered on the local economy which is especially dominated by the forestry, tourism and agriculture sectors especially in the Petite-Nation region. When the Conservative government of Stephen Harper was elected to power after the 2006 election, Laframboise urged them to adopt a motion by the Bloc Québécois that would have modified the Employment Insurance Bill which would helped workers who've lost their jobs - at that time a local Thurso sawmill closed in early 2006.[2]

He mentioned that the Conservatives had promised during the election to create an independent Employment Insurance program.[3] The MP and his party also wanted measures to help more aged workers when they lost their jobs.

Despite its support over the Kyoto Accord, Laframboise also supported the completion of Autoroute 50 between Gatineau and Lachute in the Laurentians which has been planned for years in order to provide an alternative way to the dangerous Route 148 which was the scene of numerous fatal accidents over the years in the Petite-Nation region. During his mandates, he criticized the lack of participation of the federal government (during the Liberal era) over the construction of it. However, the lack of funding forced the Quebec government to build only a Super-2 highway, while Laframboise wanted a 4-lane traditional Autoroute to facilitated a triangular corridor formed by Montreal, Gatineau and the Mont-Tremblant ski resort in the Laurentians. He mentioned that a two-lane highway would became as dangerous as the Route 175 that crossed the Laurentians Wildlife Reserve north of Quebec City.[4]
