He was first elected to Parliament at the Chicoutimi riding in the 1925 general election as an Independent Liberal and re-elected on that basis in 1926 federal election. By the 1930 election, he became a member of the Liberal party and was re-elected at Chicoutimi in 1935 and 1940. Dubuc did not seek re-election in 1945 and left Parliament after completing his term in the 19th Canadian Parliament.
Dubuc promoted various projects in the Chicoutimi region including a rail link between Baie-des-Ha!-Ha! and Chicoutimi, and paper mills at Chandler and La Baie. The Dubuc Bridge (Pont Dubuc) across the Saguenay River at Chicoutimi was named in his honour.[2]
