Timeline

1963

Pierre Lemieux (born April 9, 1963) is a politician in Ontario, Canada.

1994

He has been a Professional Engineer since 1994.

Lemieux served in the Canadian Forces for 20 years and retired at the rank of lieutenant-colonel.

He then worked for a number of years in the Ottawa high tech sector, most notably for JDS Uniphase.

He then started his own company, offering project management and consulting services to government departments and charitable organizations.

2006

He served as the Member of Parliament for the riding of Glengarry-Prescott-Russell from 2006 to 2015, first elected in Canada's 39th general election and defeated in the 42nd.

He represented the Conservative Party of Canada.

While in office he served as deputy government whip as well as parliamentary secretary to the Ministers of Official Languages, Agriculture, and Veterans Affairs.

Lemieux was first elected in the 2006 Canadian federal election that brought Stephen Harper's Conservatives into Government.

Lemieux narrowly defeated Liberal René Berthiaume, becoming the Conservative MP for Glengarry—Prescott—Russell.

It had been one of the longest held Liberal ridings in Eastern Ontario.

2008

Lemieux improved his election results with larger margins of victory in 2008 and 2011.

2015

In 2015, Lemieux was defeated by Liberal Francis Drouin by over 10,000 votes, in an election that replaced Stephen Harper's Conservative government with Justin Trudeau's Liberals.

2016

In August 2016, Lemieux declared his candidacy for the 2017 Conservative Party of Canada leadership election.

Lemieux's campaign manager was Steve Outhouse, a former Parliament Hill staffer.

His campaign generally focused on social conservative issues and increased personal liberties, including reducing the size and influence of government.

This included a proposed review of firearms laws, term limits and Parliamentary votes for Supreme Court judges, and opposition to a carbon tax.

He also favours increased government powers for face-to-face immigration screening to combat "Radical Islamic Terrorism", though opposes a controversial "Canadian values" screening test proposed by another Conservative leadership candidate, Kellie Leitch, on the grounds that "terrorists won’t share their true values with [Canada's] immigration officials".

In-line with many other Conservative Party leadership contenders, Lemieux has stated that he strongly supports Israel and its right to self-defence.

Lemieux has been critical of other conservative politicians in Canada that he believes are helping make the country more liberal through their support of socially liberal legislative initiatives such as private member's Bill C-309, which seeks to establish a gender awareness week.

Lemieux has stated that he believes such moves make these politicians "liberal-light" rather than conservative and has called on social conservatives to "not be taken for granted" by more liberal elements of federal and provincial conservative parties.

His policies have been supported by the anti-abortion advocacy group Campaign Life Coalition as well as University of Toronto Professor Jordan Peterson.

Lemieux has stated that he personally believes in the "inherent dignity of human life from the moment of conception through to natural death...we need to discuss and debate life issues in an open and respectful way, both within society and within Parliament."

He has also stated that he personally believes in the traditional definition of marriage as the union between one man and one woman.

In his leadership campaign, Lemieux committed to end sex-selective abortion and divert funds that support international abortion services to Canada's military with a mind to meeting Canada's NATO commitments on defence spending.

He has also been a proponent of protecting medical conscience rights particularly during considerations of physician assisted suicide.

Campaign Life Coalition, a pro-life advocacy group, rated Lemieux as a "pro-life, pro-family" Member of Parliament.

During his time as a Member of Parliament he voted in favour of Stephen Woodworth's M312, which sought to create a Parliamentary Committee that would study whether a child in the womb is a human being.

He also voted against Bill C-279 (known as the "Bathroom Bill"), which would have allowed transgender individuals to use washrooms based on their gender identity.

He also spoke and voted in favour of Mark Warawa's M-408, which asked that Parliament ban sex-selective abortions.

Lemieux has been a vocal critic of restrictions on freedom of speech and expression.

He opposes federal legislation that proposes to add "gender expression" and "gender identify" as defining factors for discrimination in the Criminal Code and Canadian Human Rights Act on the grounds that it negatively impacts free speech.

Such negative impacts were claimed as including the forced use of gender neutral pronouns when addressing members of the LGBT community, for which some in that community have noted their opposition to his campaign.

He has also proposed to empower Parliament to review all speech laws to ensure they properly balance freedom of speech and reasonable limits.

These stances have gained the support of controversial University of Toronto Professor Jordan Peterson, whom he has met on a number of occasions.

He has also voiced strong opposition to M-103, a Parliamentary Motion of Liberal Member of Parliament Iqra Khalid, which condemns religious discrimination and makes particular note of Islamophobia in its preposition.

2017

He was a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada in 2017.

Lemieux was born in Embrun, Ontario.

He has a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering and a Master's of Science from the Royal Military College of Canada.

2019

Lemieux ran again in the 2019 Canadian federal election but was defeated, again by Francis Drouin, though by a smaller vote margin than in 2015.
