Laflamme was educated at the Séminaire de Québec and the Université Laval, was called to the Quebec bar in 1893 and set up practice in Montreal. In 1905, he was named King's Counsel. Laflamme was an unsuccessful candidate for a seat in the Quebec assembly in 1909. In the same year, he married Eugénie Surveyor.[1] He was elected to Parliament at the Drummond—Arthabaska riding in the 1921 general election. After serving one term in the House of Commons, he left federal politics as of the 1925 federal election and did not seek re-election.
