They body was found in a wooded area near a bike path.
A forensic examiner is looking at the remains to determine the identity, and an autopsy will be performed to determine cause of death.
Police resumed the search for Poissant Tuesday morning, after the arrest of three suspects in connection with Poissant's disappearance 15 days ago.
The suspects are Kurt Lauder, 23, and his parents, Ian Lauder, 61 and Susan Grosser, 52. All three are Hemmingford residents.
Kurt Lauder is charged with first degree murder. His parents face charges of being accessories after the fact.
Poissant has been missing since July 11
Two of the suspects were arrested in Hemmingford, about 50 kilometres south of Montreal, while the third was arrested in Montreal.
The arrests sparked a renewed search for Poissant, with investigators returning to a field north of Hemmingford at the junction of Highways 219 and 205 Tuesday morning. The discovery was made within hours.
