Rose-May Poirier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rose-May Poirier (born March 2, 1954 in Chatham, New Brunswick) is a Canadian politician in the Province of New Brunswick. 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 and defeated him by 321 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 when she became minister of Local Government and minister responsible for Aboriginal Affairs.
She was re-elected in 2006 but left the cabinet due to her party forming the opposition.
