He went to Université Laval and obtained a bachelor's and master's degree in psychology. He would add a doctorate at McGill University in 1974. He was then a teacher and researcher at the department of psychology at the Université du Québec à Montréal for 28 years. He was one of the founding members of the Research Lab in Human and Social Ecology in 1979.

Bouchard entered politics in 2003 and was elected in Vachon. He was later named the critic for social solidarity and poverty and then the critic in family and education.
