Marcel Proulx

Marcel Proulx, born on March sixth, nineteen forty-six, is a retired Canadian politician who made significant contributions to the Liberal Party of Canada. He served as a member of the House of Commons, representing the riding of Hull—Aylmer from nineteen ninety-nine until two thousand eleven. His political career included roles as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Transport and as Chair of the Sub-Committee on Private Members' Business of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.

Proulx's political journey was marked by his support for Michael Ignatieff during the Liberal Party's leadership campaign, although he later served as Quebec lieutenant for Stéphane Dion in two thousand seven. His tenure as Quebec lieutenant was short-lived, as he announced his resignation on October sixteenth of the same year, after which the position was offered to other candidates before being filled by Senator Céline Hervieux-Payette.

In the two thousand eleven Canadian election, Proulx faced a significant defeat by NDP candidate Nycole Turmel, marking a historic moment as he became the first Liberal candidate to lose in Hull-Aylmer's ninety-four-year history. Following his political career, he transitioned into real estate, showcasing his adaptability and business acumen.
