Summary:Boucher mounted a slick ad campaign asking voters the question "Do you know who I am?" Despite his efforts and confidence, not enough voters did and returned the Vallieres name to the legislature, although by a close margin of 269 votes. [...]last fall, it gave that same lobby pause when it supported the drilling for oil in Anticosti Island and gave a qualified green light to a pipeline that would bring oil from Alberta to Quebec "We want to emphasize our green side, but we still need oil and a pipeline is safer than railway cars," argues Boucher, referring to the Lac-Megantic disaster last summer that left 47 people dead.
