Federal Politics

In January 2006, Pierre won the federal election and became a Member of Canada’s 39th Parliament.  In doing so, he broke a 43-year Liberal hold in the Glengarry-Prescott portion of his riding, and in the Russell portion of his riding, he is the first Conservative MP elected in 124 years.

Pierre had the great honour of being personally selected by the Prime Minister to give the first speech in the 39th Parliament.  In the 39 th Parliament, the Prime Minister chose Pierre to be both the Parliamentary Secretary for Official Languages and the Deputy Whip for the Government.  Pierre also served as the Chair of the Special Committee on the Canadian Mission in Afghanistan.

In 2008, the Prime Minister asked Pierre to serve as the Parliamentary Secretary for Agriculture and Agri-Food and after the 2011 election, asked him to continue in this important role. 

Priorities

Living in a bilingual, rural community, Pierre     is committed to farmers,    families and seniors and works diligently     to represent their interests    in Parliament. He is dedicated     to the promotion of the Franco-Ontarian    and Celtic cultures     so present in his riding, and having been a small    business     owner, he understands the importance of small-to-medium business    for the riding’s economic well-being.

Having devoted 20 years of his life to the military, Pierre is fully supportive of doing what is right for our soldiers. He knows that our men and women in uniform are among the finest in the world and that their dedication, professionalism and courage make them a source of great pride for Canadians across the country. 

Pierre believes in the importance of the family in our society and recognizes that a healthy nation is built on strong families. Married for over 25 years and blessed with five children, Pierre fully supports the traditional definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman. He believes in the sanctity of life .
