Rose-May Poirier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rose-May Poirier is a politician in the province of New Brunswick, Canada. She currently serves as member of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick for Rogersville-Kouchibouguac.

A Progressive Conservative, she was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in the 1999 provincial election defeating Liberal candidate Maurice Richard by just over 100 votes - the closest result of the election. She faced Richard again in the 2003 election but this time defeated him by over 1200 votes.

Poirier joined the cabinet following the 2003 election as minister responsible for the Office of Human Resources and retained that post until a cabinet shuffle in early 2006 moved her to her current post responsible for local government and Aboriginal affairs.

She was re-elected in 2006 but left the cabinet due to her party forming the opposition.
