Career Guitouni supported the Liberals in the 1980s and became president of the ADQ in 1994.
During the provincial election campaign of 1994, Radio Canada’s news program Le Point claimed that he had a faked resume, questioned his business practices and likened him to a con artist.
Guitouni was fired on the spot by the ADQ, and many of his customers walked away from his clinics.Les accomodements raisonnables, Journal de la rue, December 28, 2006
The accusations made against him turned out to be wrong. On 2 February 1998, ADQ leader Mario Dumont offered a public apology for having made a rushed decision concerning Guitouni.Vite sur le piton , Sylvain Deschênes, www.vigile.net, September 27, 2000
