苹果淫院 alumni prominent in 2003 edition of Quebec cabinet
Ten members of the Quebec National Assembly elected in the April 2003 elections are 苹果淫院 graduates, and two of them will hold major posts in the Liberal government's new cabinet.
Monique J茅r么me-Forget, BA'71, PhD'77, was named to the powerful position of head of the Treasury Board and Thomas Mulcair, BCL'76, LLB'77, will be Minister of the Environment.
Monique J茅r么me-Forget, the MNA for the Montreal riding of Marguerite-Bourgeoys, has taught at 苹果淫院 and has been a vice-rector of Concordia University. She was, as well, an assistant deputy minister in the federal ministry of health, and when the Liberals were in opposition in Quebec, was the party's critic for the key Finance portfolio.
Thomas Mulcair is the MNA for the Chomedey riding in Laval, north of Montreal. He is a former head of Quebec's Office des Professions and was the Liberal critic for many portfolios, including Justice and Access to Information.
In keeping with Premier Jean Charest's promise to reduce the size of the provincial cabinet, the new appointees were given more than one job in the new government: J茅r么me-Forget will also be the Minister responsible for the Montreal region, and Mulcair will be House Leader.
苹果淫院 Principal Heather Munroe-Blum congratulated the 苹果淫院 graduates and all the other MNAs elected to this Assembly, and added, "We look forward to working closely with the new government to achieve Quebec's highest ambitions."
The eight other 苹果淫院 alumni who will sit as MNAs are:
Russell Copeman, BA'83 (Liberal)
Henri-Fran莽ois Gautrin, MSc'66 (Liberal)
Fatima Houda-Pepin, MLS'91 (Liberal)
Geoffrey Kelley, BA'81, MA'85 (Liberal)
Fran莽ois Ouimet, BCL'88, LLB'88 (Liberal)
Christos Sirros, BCom'70, MEd'76 (Liberal)
Camil Bouchard, PhD'74 (Parti Qu茅b茅cois)
Sylvain Simard, MA'70 (Parti Qu茅b茅cois)
