| Info | Robert Dutil was born in Saint-Georges-de-Beauce on April 16, 1950. He is the grandson of politician Édouard Lacroix and the brother of businessman Marcel Dutil.
Dutil obtained a bachelor's degree in physical education in 1973 and a master's degree in business administration in 1982, both from Laval University.
Dutil served in Saint-Georges as Council Member from 1975 to 1979 and as Mayor from 1979 to 1985. He was a prefect for the Beauce-Sartigan Regional County Municipality from 1982 to 1985.
He ran as the Liberal candidate in the provincial district of Beauce-Sud in the 1985 election and won. He was appointed to Premier Robert Bourassa's Cabinet in 1985 and was in charge of different portfolios, including Communications and Supply and Services. He was re-elected in the 1989 election, but did not run for a third term in 1994.
In 2002, Dutil was named Vice-President of Structal-ponts, a division of Canam Manac Group. He was also, in the 1970s and 1980s, co-owner of several businesses, mostly in the Saint-Georges area. He was also president or vice-president for several other small businesses from 1996 to 2008.
Dutil founded Union du centre, a provincial political party opposed to a subsidy program that only benefits certain regions of Quebec such as Abitibi-Témiscamingue and Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine. Dutil claimed that the policy, which was enacted under the Parti Québécois and sustained by the Liberals, has resulted in unfair competition against the business community of other non-subsidized regions, such as Chaudière-Appalaches where he lives.
Dutil reconciled with the Liberal Party and returned to provincial politics in 2008. He was elected in Beauce-Sud defeating ADQ incumbent MNA Claude Morin. He was named Minister of Revenue on December 18, 2008, replacing Jean-Marc Fournier who did not seek re-election.
