Marc Bureau Biography

Marc Bureau is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on August 11, 1955 in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. Marc Bureau, born August 11, 1955, is a Canadian politician who served as mayor of Gatineau (Quebec) from 2005 to 2013.

Council voted unanimously for the budget in December 2006. It included current services and a slight inflation rate increase to pay for fire services. The budget passed without opposition. However, Jocelyne and Louise Poirier, councillors, had criticised the budget for not having a vision for the city. Bureau later condemned the comments made by councillors, calling them “hypocrite.” It created a division in the council. Aylmer sector councillor Andre Laframboise also denounced Bureau’s transparency and sought to create a new political party soon after the budget.

The City of Gatineau had submitted bids for hosting the Quebec Games in 2007 and in 2010, but the initial bid for 2007 was defeated by the city of Sept- Îles. However, Bureau, former mayor Robert Labine and a large group of volunteers attempted another bid which was made successful by defeating bids from Rivière-du-Loup, Charlevoix, Shawinigan and Vaudreuil-Dorion. The sports complex, according to Bureau is stated to be a key element for the games.

Among Bureau’s main projects for the city’s future was the realization of a new sports complex in the Gatineau sector, which residents had demanded for several years. During the 2005 campaign, Bureau promised that he would do anything in his power for the completion of a new sports complex. Immediately after the election, he went into discussion with Chapleau MNA Benoit Pelletier in order to get funding for the province to build the complex. The province had approved money for the project and the city had some surplus money of its own. The project was completed, despite a significant rise of costs, but adds a new key location in the downtown part of the Gatineau sector, which includes a federal government office building and a college school. After delays, cost overruns and threatened legal action, the sports complex finally opened its doors on June 14, 2010 and came with a price tag of $50.4 million, becoming the largest sport and recreation complex completed in Quebec since the 1976 Montreal Olympics.

He was born in RouynNoranda (Quebec) and won the election to be Gatineau mayor on November 6, 2005 with 68% of votes. He was surprised by his landslide victory, as he had been trailing in polls at the beginning of the campaign. However, he advanced until being declared the winner by a narrow margin two weeks prior to the election (52% vs 48%). Polls showed him leading by 14 points, 57% to 43%), a little more than a week prior to the election. Most people, including both candidates, attribute his victory to citizens’ desire for change after 13 years under Ducharme and Bureau’s promises of transparency in the city council. See 2005 Quebec municipal elections.
