Yvette Bissonnet is a politician in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She was a member of the Montreal city council from 2001 to 2009, serving as a member of the Montreal Island Citizens Union (MICU; renamed Union Montreal in 2007). She had previously served on the Saint-Leonard council before that city's amalgamation into Montreal. Bissonnet is married to Michel Bissonnet, a former Liberal member of the National Assembly of Quebec and the current borough mayor of Saint-Leonard. She worked as an administrative secretary before seeking public office.〔Debbie Parkes, "Five new candidates join St. Leonard mayor's slate," ''Montreal Gazette'', 2 October 1986, X8.〕 ==Early political career== Bissonnet was first elected to the Saint-Leonard council in the 1986 municipal election, winning a narrow victory in the city's seventh ward as a member of mayor Raymond Renaud's Ralliement de Saint-Léonard (RdSL). She was forty-six years old during this campaign.〔Debbie Parkes, "Five new candidates join St. Leonard mayor's slate," ''Montreal Gazette'', 2 October 1986, X8.〕 The RdSL won ten out of twelve seats on council, and Bissonett initially served as a supporter of Renaud's administration. In May 1988, Frank Zampino and seven other RdSL councillors resigned from the party to sit as independents. Bissonnet was one of the rebel councillors; she later joined Zampino's Parti Municipal and was re-elected under its banner in the 1990 municipal election.〔Amorell Saunders, "Eight St. Leonard city councillors quit mayor's 'undemocratic' party," ''Montreal Gazette'', 5 May 1988, A3; "St. Leonard councillors aim to inform residents," ''Montreal Gazette'', 19 May 1988, E8; Irwin Block, "St. Leonard votes for change as Cote St. Luc re-elects Lang," ''Montreal Gazette'', 5 November 1990, A5.〕 The Parti Municipal dominated political life in Saint-Leonard during the 1990s, and Bissonnet was returned without opposition in the 1994 and 1998 elections.〔Mike King, "Zampino, 8 councillors acclaimed in St. Leonard," ''Montreal Gazette'', 18 October 1994, A6; Irwin Block, "Second acclamation in a row for Zampino," ''Montreal Gazette'', 15 October 1998, A6.〕 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「Yvette Bissonnet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
