Doyle Vermette (born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian politician. He is a member of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, representing the electoral district of Cumberland as a member of the New Democratic Party. He was first elected in the 2007 general election, and was most recently re-elected in the 2016 general election.
Vermette won a nomination race over two other candidates to run for the NDP in the Cumberland provincial electoral district by-election held on June 25, 2008, following the resignation of Joan Beatty from the legislature. He won the electoral district in the by-election defeating two other candidates. On election night, the results see-sawed back and forth between Vermette and Saskatchewan Party candidate Dale McAuley, with Vermette ultimately being elected with a majority of 164.
Vermette is the Opposition Whip in the Legislature, and serves in various portfolios within the provincial shadow cabinet.
