Sustainable Development Commissioner, Auditor General of Québec

BBA (Accounting), FCPA Auditor

A Chartered Professional Accountant and professional auditor, Janique Lambert has been with the Auditor General of Québec for over 30 years. She has led highly strategic performance audit mandates that have influenced public sector management, particularly in the field of sustainable development. She has served as Sustainable Development Commissioner since September 2021. In 2024, Ms. Lambert was awarded the prestigious title of Fellow Chartered Professional Accountant (FCPA).

In 2006, following the adoption of the Sustainable Development Act, she played a key role as a manager in establishing the office of the first Sustainable Development Commissioner and its intervention strategy. She also actively contributed to laying the groundwork for performance auditing related to the implementation of sustainable development principles in Québec’s public service—developing both the auditing methodologies and the communication approaches with audited departments, agencies, and parliamentarians.

Her extensive experience has allowed her to closely follow the evolution of sustainable development integration within the Québec government. As an FCPA and Sustainable Development Commissioner, she is deeply committed at multiple levels. She remains attuned to the progress of sustainability initiatives not only in Québec and Canada but also on an international scale.
