His narrow victory over Quebec Liberal Party candidate Nathalie Goguen was confirmed in a judicial recount on September 14, 2012.[1] He was defeated in the 2014 Quebec election by Liberal candidate Guy Hardy.

Hebert was dean of the School of Public Health at the Universite de Montreal.

In September 2019, Hébert was confirmed as the federal Liberal Party of Canada candidate in the Longueuil–Saint-Hubert electoral district. He won the nomination by acclamation,[2] but did not win the election.

Hébert was married and had children before coming out as gay at age 40.[3] He was one of three openly gay members of the National Assembly during his time in office, alongside Sylvain Gaudreault and Agnès Maltais.[4]
