Pascale Déry MNA (born 1976) is a Canadian politician. She sought the Conservative Party of Canada nomination for Mount Royal in the 2015 Canadian federal election, losing to Robert Libman.[1] She was instead nominated in Drummond for that election, where she finished in fourth position after the New Democratic, Liberal, and Bloc Québécois candidates. In the 2022 Quebec general election, she was elected to represent the riding of Repentigny as a member of the Coalition Avenir Québec.[2] She was named Quebec's Minister of Higher Education on October 20, 2022,[3] and, following a cabinet reshuffle, Minister of Employment on September 10, 2025.[4] Premier Christine Fréchette appointed her as Minister of the Environment, the Fight Against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks in 2026.

Déry is Jewish and speaks fluent French, English and Spanish. She was formerly a television journalist for TVA and Le Canal Nouvelles.[5]
