Michel Gauthier Biography

Michel Gauthier is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on February 18, 1950 in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Michel Gauthier, French pronunciation: [miSel gotje]; born February 18, 1950, Quebec City, Quebec), is a Canadian politician who was the leader of the Bloc Quebecois between 1996 and 1997. Gauthier, who was also the Leader of Opposition at this time, was the Official Opposition to the Parliament of Canada.

As a candidate for the Bloc Quebecois, he won a seat at the House of Commons of Canada in 1993.

His lack of profile resulted in some opposition parties mocking Gauthier as being the “faceless leader” of the opposition, as he was largely a political unknown in most of Canada and even in Quebec. Gauthier’s leadership was unpopular with the caucus due to alleged conservative views and lack of charisma, and facing a revolt by his MPs, Gauthier resigned in 1997. He was succeeded by Gilles Duceppe.

He formally resigned on July 29, 2007, and became the host of Gauthier, a television news show, which began airing on TQS in September 2007.

Gauthier was elected first as a member of the National Assembly of Quebec in 1981 for Roberval. He was also parliamentary secretary to finance ministers from 1983 to 1985. In 1985, he was reelected to the legislature and served until 1988. He then resigned to become the director-general for the Roberval school board.

Gauthier was born in Quebec City and worked as a teacher, an educational advisor, and then as director of education services at the Roberval school district from 1979 to 1981.

In 1975, he was elected president of Chambord Tourism Corporation. In 1976, he was elected president of Chambord Chamber of commerce.

Gauthier was not one of the Bloc’s better-known Members of Parliament (MPs), but after Lucien Bouchard resigned to become Premier of Quebec, Gauthier won the Bloc Québécois leadership election of 1996, defeating Francine Lalonde. The vote was conducted among members of the party’s directorate rather than by all members of the party, and this hurt Gauthier’s legitimacy.
