Mr. Gerard Latulippe ran in Charlesbourg-Jacques-Cartier as candidate for the Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance in the 2000 Election but he was not elected.
According to Joe Friesen and Campbell Clark: "Mr. Latulippe declared his support for Quebec sovereignty in the 1990s, several years after he was forced to resign from Liberal premier Robert Bourassa's cabinet over conflict-of-interest allegations."http://www2.macleans.ca/2010/02/22/rights-and-democracy-loyalty-and-competence/#
According to Graeme Hamilton: "In 2007, when Quebec was in the throes of debate over the reasonable accommodation of religious minorities, Mr. Latulippe submitted a 37-page brief to a provincial government commission studying the issue. Mr. Latulippe warned that Quebec's open immigration practices were leading to the creation of Muslim ghettoes in Montreal, which could easily become breeding grounds for terrorism."Some ethnic groups insist on living according to their own life codes, which run counter to our values and sometimes even our fundamental rights," he wrote. The smooth functioning of Quebec society, he said, is harmed by "the increasingly large geographical concentration [in Montreal] of immigration from Muslim countries." Among the solutions he proposed were a requirement that immigrants settle outside Montreal and a pre-immigration test to verify that a potential immigrant's values conform with those of Quebec society. He also said such religious symbols as the Muslim headscarf and the Sikh kirpan should be confined to the "private sphere." On the other hand, Catholic symbols such as the crucifix in the provincial legislature reflected Quebec's "national identity" and should be preserved, he said."

Durant sa présidence, M. Beauregard a constamment attaché une grande importance aux échanges et à la coopération entre l 'École du comité central du Parti communiste chinois et Droits et Démocratie et c 'est sous son impulsion que notre projet a pu connaître des succès considérables. Notre école a tiré grand profit de sa connaissance intime des droits de la personne et de ses réflexions perspicaces, qui nous inspirent une grande admiration. L 'an dernier, M. Li Liandong, directeur du Département de science politique et de droit, dirigeait une mission de notre école au Canada, durant laquelle il fut reçu chez les Beauregard; il y a ressenti personnellement la chaleur de l 'accueil du couple et leur profonde amitié pour le peuple chinois. En novembre dernier, M. Beauregard dirigeait à son tour une mission de Droits et Démocratie en Chine et visitait notre École.
Sa présence, sa voix et son sourire sont encore bien vivants parmi tous les collègues ici à l 'École!
Nous vous prions de transmettre toute notre sympathie à son épouse Suzanne et aux membres de sa famille. Nous espérons qu 'ils pourront contenir leur douleur et prendre bien soin d 'eux-mêmes! Fidèles à la volonté posthume de M. Beauregard, poursuivons sans relâche, côte à côte, les échanges et la coopération entre l 'École du Comité central du Parti communiste chinois et Droits et Démocratie!

Monsieur Rémy Beauregard a consacré d 'énormes efforts à la promotion de la coopération académique entre le Centre international des droits de la personne et du développement démocratique et le Centre des droits de la personne de l 'École du Comité central du Parti communiste chinois. Il a fait une contribution exceptionnelle à l 'amitié entre les peuples chinois et canadien.
Nous chérirons à jamais la mémoire de M. Rémi Beauregard.
