François Corriveau

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

François Corriveau (born November 7, 1969 in Baie-Comeau, Quebec) is a politician in Quebec, Canada, and was the Action démocratique du Québec (ADQ) Member of the National Assembly for the electoral district of Saguenay (now known as René-Lévesque), in the Côte-Nord region, from 2002 to 2003.

Corriveau was first elected to the National Assembly in a by-election held on April 15, 2002 with 48% of the vote. Liberal candidate Isabelle Melançon finished second with 28% of the vote.

Corriveau was only the second ADQ member ever to be elected to the National Assembly. His victory surprised most observers and temporarily boosted the ADQ's exposure in the media.

In the 2003 election, Corriveau finished second with 33% of the vote, behind Parti Québécois (PQ) candidate Marjolain Dufour (41%).

In December 2006, the Conservative Party of Canada nominated Corriveau as its candidate for the next federal election in the riding of Manicouagan. ^[1]
