Il a été nommé juge de paix en 1779. Foretier était parmi ceux qui font pression pour une réforme constitutionnelle dans la province. Il essaya de se faire élire sans succès à un siège à l'Assemblée législative en 1792. Foretier a plus tard servi dans la milice, servant comme colonel en 1804 jusqu'à sa mort à Montréal en 1815. Sa fille Marie-Amable a marié Denis-Benjamin Viger et son autre fille Marie-Élizabeth épousa le juge Louis-Charles Foucher. Son petit-fils par la suite a représenté Montréal-est à l'Assemblée législative et a servi au Conseil exécutif de la province. (fr)
