Nycole Turmel, (born September 1, 1942) was the Canadian Member of Parliament representing the electoral district of Hull—Aylmer and served as the Opposition Whip in the New Democratic Party shadow cabinet. Turmel was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 2011 federal election, representing the electoral district of Hull—Aylmer, and became interim leader of the New Democratic Party after leader Jack Layton took a leave of absence in the summer of 2011 for health reasons. When Layton subsequently died from complications due to cancer on August 22, 2011, Turmel became Leader of the Official Opposition, the second woman to be so appointed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Stephen Harper referring to Turmel as leader of the opposition )〕 She held both positions until the selection of Thomas Mulcair in the 2012 leadership election on March 24, 2012. Turmel is a long-time trade unionist and served as president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada from 2000 to 2006. ==Personal life== Nycole Turmel was born to parents Laval Turmel and Emilia Jacques in Ste-Marie-de-Beauce, Quebec, a nearly completely francophone area of Quebec, where she lived until the age of 18.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nycole Turmel: Cheffe par intérim du NPD )〕 Her father ran a dairy in the region, called Laiterie Turmel, that focused on producing and delivering milk, cream and ice cream.

At 18, and newly married, she and her husband left her home region of the Beauce to move to Alma, Quebec, for work. She subsequently had three children and, after separating from her husband, raised them as a single mother. In 1990, Turmel left Alma and moved to Gatineau in order to take up a new job with her union. She has resided in Gatineau since. Turmel is bilingual, speaking English as a second language, and is now married to a British-born Anglophone.〔 She has three children and nine grandchildren, as well as a brother who lives in Sainte-Marie.
