He is expected to remain in his role through the announcement of Transat's results for its financial year ending Oct. 31 to help ensure a smooth transition.

Bui is set to join Dollarama on Dec. 18.

He fills a job left vacant by the departure of J.P. Towner who moved from the discount retailer to become chief financial officer at Rona Inc.
