Jean-Luc Joncas (born 16 December 1936) was a Progressive Conservative member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was a businessman by career.
Born in Amqui, Quebec, Joncas represented the Quebec riding of Matapédia—Matane where he was first elected in the 1984 federal election and re-elected in 1988, therefore becoming a member in the 33rd and 34th Canadian Parliaments.
Joncas left federal politics after his defeat in the 1993 federal election by René Canuel of the Bloc Québécois.
Controversy for Claiming Milage as an MP
In 1988, Joncas was the subject of controversy after allegations he and his family inappropriately claimed milage for his travel to and from Ottawa. These allegations appeared in the Montreal Gazette in November 1988.
