Mario Laframboise (born November 7, 1957 in Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix, Quebec) is a Canadian politician. Laframboise served as mayor of Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix and Reeve of the Papineau MRC before getting into federal politics. In the Canadian federal election, 2000, Laframboise was elected to the Canadian House of Commons as the ''Bloc Québécois'' candidate in the riding of Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel. He was easily re-elected in the 2004, 2006 and 2008 elections, however he was defeated in the 2011 election by NDP's Mylène Freeman. A former notary, he was the Bloc critic to the Minister of Transport and later to the Minister of Infrastructure. He was also vice-president of the federal permanent committee of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.〔Laflamme, Jessy, La Petite-Nation en bref, La Petite-Nation (Saint-Andre-Avellin), Saint-Andre-Avellin, Quebec, May 14, 2006, page 7〕 Laframboise was the Coalition Avenir Québec candidate for the June 11, 2012 by-election in the provincial riding of Argenteuil.〔Dougherty, Kevin, ("Two provincial by-elections called for June 11," ) Montreal Gazette, May 10, 2012〕 He came in third. He was again defeated by Richer in the 2012 general election. In the 2014 general election he switched to the riding of Blainville, where he was elected. ==Priorities== During his tenure as MP his priorities were centered on the local economy which is especially dominated by the forestry, tourism and agriculture sectors especially in the Petite-Nation region. When the Conservative government of Stephen Harper was elected to power after the 2006 election, Laframboise urged them to adopt a motion by the Bloc Québécois that would have modified the Employment Insurance Bill which would helped workers who've lost their jobs - at that time a local Thurso sawmill closed in early 2006.〔Thurso : MacMillan déborde de confiance, Le Droit, Ottawa, April 22, 2006, page 4〕 He mentioned that the Conservatives had promised during the election to create an independent Employment Insurance program.〔Soucy, Yves, Assurance-emploi : Laframboise presse les conservateurs d'agir (Employment Insurance : Laframboise urges Conservatives to act), Le Droit, Ottawa, May 12, 2006, page 10.〕 The MP and his party also wanted measures to help more aged workers when they lost their jobs. Despite its support over the Kyoto Accord, Laframboise also supported the completion of Autoroute 50 between Gatineau and Lachute in the Laurentians which has been planned for years in order to provide an alternative way to the dangerous Route 148 which was the scene of numerous fatal accidents over the years in the Petite-Nation region. During his mandates, he criticized the lack of participation of the federal government (during the Liberal era) over the construction of it. However, the lack of funding forced the Quebec government to build only a Super-2 highway, while Laframboise wanted a 4-lane traditional Autoroute to facilitated a triangular corridor formed by Montreal, Gatineau and the Mont-Tremblant ski resort in the Laurentians. He mentioned that a two-lane highway would become as dangerous as the Route 175 that crossed the Laurentians Wildlife Reserve north of Quebec City.〔Gauderault, Patrice, Élections 2006, Argenteuil-Papineau-Mirabel, Le fief bloquiste, Le Droit, Ottawa, January 5, 2006, page 6〕 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「Mario Laframboise」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
