A member of theLiberal Party, he has been theMember of Parliament (MP) forQuébec since2015. He previously served asMinister of Families, Children and Social Development from 2015 to 2019,President of the Treasury Board from 2019 to 2021,Minister of Health from 2021 to 2023, andMinister of Public Services and Procurement from 2023 to 2025.

Duclos attended theUniversity of Alberta, where he earned an undergraduate degree in economics, followed by graduate and doctoral studies in economics at theLondon School of Economics. His doctoral thesis in 1992 was titled "Progressivity, equity and the take-up of state benefits, with application to the 1985 British tax and benefit system".^[1] Prior to his election to the House of Commons, he headed the economics department atUniversité Laval and was the president-elect of theCanadian Economics Association. He was elected a Fellow of theRoyal Society of Canada in 2014.^[2]

In 2015, Duclos was elected to represent theriding ofQuébec in theHouse of Commons in the2015 general election as a member of theLiberal Party of Canada.^[3] In a hotly contested four-way race, Duclos faced candidates from three parties all having more recently held the seat. Ousting incumbent NDP MPAnnick Paillon by exactly 1,000 votes, Duclos became the first Liberal elected to represent this riding sinceGilles Lamontagne, who left office in 1984.^[4] He also had the distinction of being the only successful Liberal candidate in the 2015 election who secured less than 30% of the vote cast.

In2019, Duclos faced stiff competition from former Bloc MPChristiane Gagnon who represented the district for six terms between 1993 and 2011. He emerged victorious with an increased vote share of 33.3% but substantially reduced margin of 325 votes.

With comparatively less established rivals, Duclos secured his third mandate in2021 with a 3,300 votes, 6 points margin.2025 saw Duclos’ margin of victory over his closest rival substantially increase to 14 points and taking 49.50% of the vote, turning the seat into an increasingly safe one.

Duclos served as acabinet minister throughout the29th Canadian Ministry, headed byJustin Trudeau. He was first appointed asMinister of Families, Children and Social Development^[5] and remained in that role throughout the first mandate.

Upon being re-elected in 2019, he was sworn in asPresident of the Treasury Board and served in that role throughout the second mandate.

Upon being re-elected in 2021 while theCOVID-19 pandemic was ongoing, Duclos was appointedMinister of Health. This made him a prominent figure in Canadian government response to the pandemic, which he supported an end to most generalizedpublic health restrictions, such asface mask mandates until the emergence of fourth COVID-19 wave due to the highly transmissibleDeltacron hybrid variant, a pre-dominant strain in the country that is combined of Delta and Omicron variants, started from July 2021 to the end of April 2022. He also expanded theCOVID-19 vaccination program in Canada.^{[citation needed]}
