          After the war he took to the study of medicine, was admitted to practice in 1819, and became a successful practitioner.

          In 1841 Taché entered the Canadian assembly as member for L’Islet. In 1846 he resigned his seat on appointment as deputy adjutant-general of the Canadian militia; but in 1848 he was again elected, and on 11 March joined the Baldwin-Lafontaine ministry as commissioner of public work
