Ouellette worked for the Sûreté du Québec police force for over 30 years. He was a police officer, a corporal and a sergeant. He worked for several years in the department of organized crime, and was involved in cases involving biker gangs. He was part of the Carcajou tactical team, which was created in 1995 in the midst of a violent biker gang war and following the death of an 11-year-old boy in Montreal after an explosion that was targeting several members of a biker gang. He also published a book about Hells Angels kingpin Maurice Boucher in 2005.
Ouellette was elected in Chomedey in 2007, replacing Tom Mulcair. He was named parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Public Security, Jacques Dupuis.
