RM>> She's French, from Quebec, BTW..

MP>Oh, the horror!!!  Well, that strikes her off my list.  

Even worse, Melanie Joly is also a Lawyer...   B)

Often some of the French people rub me the wrong way but she
always seemed a nice person. Her current job is mostly to do with
Quebec though. She used to be Minister of Economic Developement
and Minister of Tourism, which would be Canada wide, but she is
Currently Minister of Official Languages and Economic Developement
in Quebec as well as for all of Canada she is the Registrar General
and the Minister of Industry. A very busy person it sounds like..

In the last election she got more than triple the votes of any
other candidates in her region.

I'm allowed to say some of that stuff above since my Paternal
Grandmother was French, as are a bunch of other relatives..   B)

My brother's wife is French too..
