Lapointe was first elected to city council in the 1998 municipal election for the Fleury division. Vision Montreal won a council majority in this cycle, and Lapointe was a backbench supporter of MayorPierre Bourque's administration for the next three years. He was re-elected for the redistributed Ahuntsic division in the 2001 election; Vision Montreal was defeated by MICU, and he subsequently served as a member of the opposition.
Lapointe crossed the floor to join MICU on December 12, 2003.[2] In February 2004, he was elected to MICU's executive committee as one of three members representing the elected party caucus.[3] He was re-elected under his new party's banner in the 2005 campaign.
By virtue of holding his seat on city council, Lapointe also served as a member of the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough council following the 2001 election. He died of cancer on April 12, 2008.[4]
