Sylvain Simard (born April 26, 1945) is a politician and academic based in the Canadian province of Quebec. He represented Richelieu in the National Assembly of Quebec from 1994 to 2012, and was a cabinet minister in the governments of Lucien Bouchard and Bernard Landry. Simard is a member of the Parti Québécois (PQ).

^ Yves Blais was designated as the regional delegate for the Outaouais in the government of Jacques Parizeau and was not a government minister.
^ Rolland Chaussé was president of the MNQ from the late 1980s to 1990. In late 1988, he urged Quebec premier Robert Bourassa to defend the province's Charter of the French Language against a decision by the Supreme Court of Canada that struck down three of its more contentious provisions. See Patricia Poirier, "Groups urge Premier to override ruling," Globe and Mail, 16 December 1988, A10. During the 1992 Canadian referendum, Chaussé wrote, photocopied, and distributed a letter opposing the Charlottetown Accord. He was subsequently fined one hundred dollars for illegal campaigning, a decision that many regarded as unduly harsh. See Tu Thanh Ha, "Strict regulations govern referendum campaigns," Globe and Mail, 4 October 1995, A4. At the time of the 1992 campaign, Chaussé was described as a forty-eight-year-old councillor in the small community of Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur, Quebec.
