Joseph Francis (Frank) Gavan Power (13 June 1918 - 1973) was a Liberal party member of the Canadian House of Commons. He was born in Montreal, Quebec and became a lawyer by career. Frank Power was a veteran of the Canadian Army. He became a prisoner of war of the Japanese Imperial Army when Hong Kong fell on Christmas Day of 1941.

He was first elected at the Quebec South riding in a 26 September 1955 by-election succeeding his father, Charles Gavan Power, who was appointed to the Senate. Frank Power was re-elected at Quebec South in the 1957 federal election but defeated by Jacques Flynn of the Progressive Conservative party in the 1958 election.〔 Power is among the Cannon family members of Parliament such as his grandfather William Power and his nephew Lawrence Cannon as well as Charles Power, a senior cabinet minister in William Lyon Mackenzie King's cabinet. ==References== 〔 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「Frank Power」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
