Provincial Politics
He ran as a candidate of the newly formed provincial wing of the Ralliement créditiste in 1970 and won, becoming the Member of the National Assembly for the district of Saint-Sauveur.
During his term of office, the party was plagued by internal divisions. While three MNAs remained loyal to Leader Camil Samson, the rest of the caucus withdrew its support and appointed Bois as temporary leader, until a leadership convention could determine a new leader.
A year later Yvon Dupuis was chosen as leader. Nonetheless, Bois and most of his colleagues lost their bid for re-election in 1973.

Famous quotes containing the words provincial and/or politics:
“The dead level of provincial existence.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“The average educated man in America has about as much knowledge of what a political idea is as he has of the principles of counterpoint. Each is a thing used in politics or music which those fellows who practise politics or music manipulate somehow. Show him one and he will deny that it is politics at all. It must be corrupt or he will not recognize it. He has only seen dried figs. He has only thought dried thoughts. A live thought or a real idea is against the rules of his mind.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
