He was first elected at the Compton—Frontenac riding in the 1962 general election and was re-elected there in the 1963 and 1965 federal elections. From 1963 to 1971, he was a member under the Ralliement créditiste.

Electoral district restructuring in 1966 restored the Compton riding where Latulippe was re-elected for further terms in Parliament in 1968 and 1972. He was defeated there in the 1974 federal election by Claude Tessier of the Liberal party. Latulippe was unsuccessful in unseating Tessier in the 1979 election, when the riding became known as Mégantic—Compton—Stanstead.
