Simon-Napoléon Parent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simon-Napoléon Parent (September 12, 1855 – September 7, 1920). Born in Quebec City he was the Liberal Premier of the Canadian province of Quebec from October 3, 1900 to March 21, 1905.
A lawyer by profession, he served as mayor of Quebec City from 1894 to 1906, which overlapped his career at the Legislative Assembly. He served in the cabinet of his predecessor Félix-Gabriel Marchand, who he succeeded upon the latter's death in office.
Under pressure from a dissident movement within his party led by Lomer Gouin, Adélard Turgeon and William Alexander Weir, Parent resigned as Premier in 1905. He died in Montreal in 1920.
Parent's son, Georges Parent was an MP in the Canadian House of Commons and later a Senator who served as Speaker of the Canadian Senate.
