Boutillier was uninspired by rural life. His preference for the ease and refinement of the city led him to neglect his tasks on the farm. This left him with an enduring reputation for idleness amongst relatives who compensated for his lack of participation.

Boutillier was elected to the House of Commons of Canada under the Progressive banner. He defeated Liberal candidate Gorden Charles by a wide plurality. Boutillier did not run for re-election when Parliament dissolved in 1926.

Boutillier's son, Herbert R. Boutillier, was a Co-operative Commonwealth Federation candidate in the 1940 federal election. In 1955 he died in Edmonton, where he had moved after retiring in 1947.[1]
