Biography
Maxime Bernier is known as a dependable politician who speaks his mind. A man of ideas, his belief in personal responsibility and freedom is at the heart of his political vision. In his public statements, he expresses those values and his unwavering commitment to reducing the size of government.
Maxime Bernier was born January 18, 1963, in St-Georges-de-Beauce. He is the father of two girls.
Mr. Bernier is a dedicated and experienced runner and has participated in several marathons. A tough and determined competitor, he once ran 106 km across his constituency, completing the run in 13 hours and raising $165,000 for the Beauce food bank.
In 1985, Mr. Bernier earned a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the Université du Québec à Montréal and entered Law at the University of Ottawa. He was called to the Quebec Bar in 1990.
Mr. Bernier has a long-standing interest in business and during his career worked for several financial and banking institutions before becoming Executive Vice-President of the Montreal Economic Institute in 2005.
Many people in the region encouraged him to enter politics. He took up the challenge and was elected Member of Parliament for Beauce on January 23, 2006, with the largest majority outside Alberta. He was appointed to Cabinet on February 6, 2006, as Minister of Industry.
His success in deregulating major portions of the telecommunications sector prompted the chair of the Political Science department at McGill University, Professor Richard J. Schultz, to write, “In terms of what is perhaps the single most important component of his Industry portfolio, telecommunications, he was without challenge the best Industry Minister in thirty years.”
Mr. Bernier also served as Minister of Foreign Affairs from August 14, 2007 to May 26, 2008.
He was re-elected to represent Beauce on October 14, 2008, again receiving the largest majority of all MPs in Quebec.
Re-elected on May 2, 2011, he was appointed Minister of State for Small Business and Tourism.
Maxime Bernier was re-elected a fourth time in November, 2015, receiving more than 59% of the vote.

Welcome to the Carleton Conservative’s Leadership Series. This series will span throughout the school year. Our club will be inviting each declared Leadership candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada, to speak to our members. This will provide you with a one-on-one experience with potentially the next Leader of the Party. This will be a great opportunity to hear their vision and for a candid Q&A session. In the spirit of fairness, we will be inviting each candidate in the order they have declared.
The Hon. Dr. Kellie Leitch will be the first to speak to us about her campaign. Kellie was first elected as the Member of Parliament for Simcoe-Grey in Ontario in 2011.
She served as the Minister of Labour and Minister for the Status of Women in the previous government.
Kellie was born in Manitoba and spent much of her youth growing up in Alberta. She has been a hardworking activist in the Conservative Party since she was 14 and has volunteered to help the Party in almost every role available since then: installing signs, running a campus club, managing campaigns, and serving on the Party executive.
Professionally, Kellie has focused on helping others in her role as a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. She has practiced medicine at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and presently works as volunteer surgeon at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa. She has combined her background in medicine and business on a number of innovative projects, including as the former chair of the Ivey Business School’s Centre for Health Innovation and Leadership and as the founder of The Sandbox Project, an organization focused on helping Canadian kids to grow up healthy and active.
Kellie also hosts an annual golf tournament to raise money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in memory of her mother.
