Early life
He was born on May 2, 1919, in Grand-Mère, Quebec, and was a contractor before running for office.
Member of Parliament
Lamy successfully ran as a Social Credit Party of Canada candidate for the district of Saint-Maurice—Laflèche in the 1962 federal election, against Liberal incumbent J.A. Richard.
He was among twenty-six Social Credit members from Quebec who were elected for the first time that year.
He lost his re-election bid in the 1963 federal election, against Liberal and future prime minister, Jean Chrétien.
Attempts to make a political comeback
He also ran as a Ralliement créditiste du Québec candidate in the 1970 provincial election in the district of Saint-Maurice and as a Progressive Conservative candidate in the district of Champlain in the 1979 federal election, but was each time defeated.
Lamy did not run again after 1979.
