He was born in Saint-Henri, Lower Canada, the son of Pierre Boutin and Rose Morisset, and was educated there. Boutin also served as justice of the peace at Saint-Raphaël. In 1848, he married Esther Bernard. Boutin was an unsuccessful candidate in Bellechasse in an 1875 federal by-election. He was elected to the Quebec assembly in 1878, defeating the incumbent Pierre Fradet, but was defeated by Narcisse-Henri-Édouard Faucher de Saint-Maurice when he ran for reelection in 1881.
