Joseph Facal Biography

Joseph Facal is one of the most popular and richest Radio Personality who was born on March 12, 1961 in Montevideo, Montevideo Department, Uruguay. Joseph Facal (born 12 March 1961) is Joseph Facal (born 12 March 1961) is a Canadian politician as well as an academic and journalist within the Province of Quebec. He was an Parti Quebecois member of the National Assembly of Quebec from 1994 until 2003. He also served as an official in the cabinet of both the administrations from Lucien Bouchard and Bernard Landry.

Facal was elected with a narrow margin on his second try in the general election of 1994 for the Laval Fabre division. His party, the Parti Quebecois won a majority government under the leadership of Jacques Parizeau and Facal joined the legislative assembly as a backbencher for the government. From December 1994 until March 1996, he served as chairman of the parliamentary commission on education. He was in 1995 when he publicly voiced his doubts about the strategy of Premier Parizeau to hold referendum on sovereignty during the first full year as the government.

Lucien Bouchard succeeded Parizeau as Parti Québécois leader and premier of Quebec on 26 January 1996, and appointed Facal as his parliamentary secretary three days later. Facal subsequently represented the Bouchard government on missions to Africa, Europe, and Latin America, and in 1997 he served as vice- president of the Parliamentary Conference of the Americas held in Quebec City. In the same year, he chaired a legislative committee that recommended downsizing in the Quebec civil service and the number of government agencies.

In 1998 and 1999, Facal took part in discussions with representatives of the Canadian federal government and other provinces on a proposed Social Union Framework Agreement for health, education, and social services. He indicated that Quebec would only accept the agreement if it recognized the province’s right to opt out of specific programs with full financial compensation. The federal government ultimately concluded a deal with all provinces except Quebec in February 1999; Facal said that he could not sign the accord, as it included provisions for the federal government to oversee unilateral programs such as the millennium scholarships and did not permit Quebec to opt out of future shared-cost programs. He later said that the social union agreement undermined any possibility that Quebec’s distinctiveness could be recognized within the Canadian constitution.

Facal first ran for election to the Quebec legislature during the general election of 1989 for Dorion, the Montreal section of Dorion. He came second to the incumbent Liberal Party candidate Violette Trepanier and was an official of Robert Bourassa’s cabinet.
