Marcel Boulic

He was re-elected in the 1959 provincial election with an increased majority. The Progressive Conservatives won a majority government in this cycle, and Boulic retained his cabinet position.

Boulic was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1958 provincial election, defeating incumbent Liberal-Progressive Samuel Burch by 512 votes in the redistributed constituency of Cypress. The Progressive Conservatives under Roblin won a minority government in this election, and Boulic was appointed as Provincial Secretary on June 30, 1958. He was the only Franco-Manitoban in Roblin's cabinet.

Boulic first for the Manitoba legislature in a by-election held on June 27, 1955. He agreed to run as the Progressive Conservative candidate in Mountain after meeting with Dufferin Roblin, who had been chosen as the party's leader the previous year. Roblin has said of their first meeting that Boulic struck him as "a man in his forties, open-faced, well set-up, of diffident manner, but clearly a leader", adding "[h]is politics were in doubt but I got know him just the same. When the by-election came, I had my man".

Boulic born at Altamont, Manitoba, and was educated at St. Boniface College. He was elected as a school trustee in 1940, and served in this position for three years. He was later a councillor, and then the reeve of Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes. Boulic was initially a farmer in private life, and later operated a creamery.

On election day, Boulic lost to Liberal-Progressive candidate Walter Clark by 276 votes. Notwithstanding his defeat, Boulic's showing was considered both impressive and significant. Mountain had been considered one of the safest Liberal-Progressive seats in the province, and the Conservatives had not even fielded a candidate in the division since 1932. Several prominent Liberal-Progressives campaigned on Clark's behalf, and senior party members were reported as being concerned with the close result. Roblin wrote that Boulic, in defeat, "[laid] the foundations for victory in 1958".
