Political career

In parliament, Bois served as member of the Committee on Cultural Affairs and Education.[3] In this capacity, he co-authored (together with Constance Le Grip) a 2021 report on the copyright law of France.[4]

In addition to his committee assignments, Bois was a member of the French parliamentary friendship groups with the Dominican Republic, Georgia, India and Jamaica.

Bois lost his seat in the first round of the 2022 French legislative election.[5]

Political positions

In July 2019, Bois decided not to align with his parliamentary group's majority and became one of 52 LREM members who abstained from a vote on the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[6]

Controversy

In December 2021, amid the COVID-19 pandemic in France, the garage of Bois’s house in Chambly and his car were set on fire and an adjacent wall scrawled with graffiti by suspected anti-vaccination protesters.[7]
