As the Deputy Leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP), Alexandre Boulerice works closely with the party's leader, Jagmeet Singh.

Public Controversies
In 2019, Mr. Boulerice faced controversy when past blog posts he had written before becoming an MP came to light. In the posts, he was critical of Canada's mission in Afghanistan and used language describing soldiers that he later apologized for, stating his choice of words was inappropriate. Separately, in 2014, he was among a group of NDP MPs ordered by the House of Commons' Board of Internal Economy to repay funds used for mailings that were deemed to be overly partisan and therefore an improper use of parliamentary resources.

The people of Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie continued to put their trust in me in four subsequent elections. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart. Representing them has been an honour, a privilege and a true
Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to table a petition signed by hundreds of citizens. In light of the 70,000 Palestinians killed by bombings in Gaza, including 350 since the ceasefire, the failure to comply with several UN resolutions and the illegal boarding of several ships bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza, the petitioners call upon the Government of Canada to denounce before the UN General Assembly
Mr. Speaker, the genocide in Gaza has claimed 70,000 lives, including 20,000 children. The humanitarian situation remains dire, with infrastructure in ruins.
