      Biography

      Born in Ottawa, Ontario,[1] the son of Pierre-Hyacinthe Chabot and Margaret Ethier, he was educated at the University of Ottawa and McGill University and practised medicine in Ottawa.[2]

      Chabot was defeated in his attempt to win election as a Conservative from Ottawa in the 1908 federal election and again in a 1910 by-election. He was elected as one of two MPs in the multi-member constituency in 1911 and would serve until as Conservative and Unionist MP until his defeat in 1926.[1]

      Chabot was commander for the Ottawa General Military Base Hospital during World War I.[1] He was also chief surgeon at the Ottawa General Hospital, surgeon for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, surgeon for the Ottawa Police and physician for the University of Ottawa.[2]

      He was named to the Queen's Privy Council for Canada on July 19, 1926 on the recommendation of Prime Minister Arthur Meighen but was not named to Cabinet.[2]

      Chabot was married twice: to Mary Devlin in 1894 and to Hope Brunel in 1916. He died in Ottawa at the age of 67.[2]
