On November 25, 2013 he was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in a by-election to become the Liberal Member of Parliament for the Montreal riding of Bourassa.

Political career
Dubourg won his seat in the 2007 Quebec Provincial Election, succeeding former Liberal MNA William Cusano. After the election, was named the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Employment and Social Solidarity, a portfolio held by Sam Hamad. He was re-elected in the 2008 and 2012 general elections.
