From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles-Arthur Gauthier (May 12, 1913 - May 12, 1997) was a long time Canadian Member of Parliament (MP) for the Social Credit Party and Ralliement Créditiste. Gauthier, an undertaker, was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons representing Roberval, Quebec in the 1962 election. In 1963, he and numerous other Quebec Socred MPs joined Réal Caouette in forming the Ralliement Créditiste, a Quebec breakaway from the federal Social Credit Party that rejoined the federal party in 1971.
From 1978 to 1979, Gauthier was acting leader of the Social Credit party. He was defeated in the 1980 election that wiped out the party.
