Diane Marleau, PC, MP (June 21, 1943 – January 30, 2013)〔("Longtime Sudbury MP Diane Marleau dies" ). ''Sudbury Star'', January 30, 2013.〕 was a Canadian politician. She represented the riding of Sudbury in the House of Commons of Canada from 1988 to 2008, and was a cabinet minister in the government of Jean Chrétien. Marleau was a member of the Liberal Party of Canada. She was married to Paul Marleau, a prominent businessman in Sudbury who ran for mayor of the city in the 2003 municipal election.〔 ==Early life and career== Marleau was born Diane Paulette Lebel〔("Friends, rivals remember Marleau" ). ''Sudbury Star'', January 31, 2013.〕 in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, one of three children raised by a single mother in a low-income household. She was a childhood friend of Marie-Paule Charette, who later became a Senator and president of the Liberal Party. She studied Commerce at the University of Ottawa, but left after three years when she married fellow student Paul Marleau, with whom she had three children: Brigitte, Donald and Stéphane, and moved to Sudbury. She worked as the secretary to a medical doctor for five years, prior to the introduction of Medicare. She later said that this experience made her realize the importance of a publicly funded health system, saying "I was the one who had to collect the bills. It gave me an understanding of what it means when people are obliged to pay to see a doctor." Marleau returned to Laurentian University as a mature student, and completed a Bachelor's Degree in Economics (1976).〔"Diane Marleau", Canada Votes '97, ''Canadian Broadcasting Corporation''.〕 She worked as an accountant, managed an office for a firm of chartered accountants (Thorne and Riddell and then with Collins, Barrow-Maheux Noiseux), and operated a restaurant she co-owned with her husband. She also served on the boards of Laurentian University and Laurentian Hospital.〔William Johnson, ""Average Canadian' : Health minister exudes determination and competence", ''Kitchener-Waterloo Record'', 3 December 1993, A9; Rosemary Spiers, "A defender of medicare: 'Ordinary' Diane Marleau has an extraordinary task", ''Toronto Star'', 9 December 1993, A25.〕 Marleau worked on Judy Erola's campaign in the 1980 federal election, and later credited Erola as a role model for her own career in public life.〔Trish Crawford, "Erola revs up for another challenge", ''Toronto Star'', 19 April 1987, D1.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diane Marleau」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
