Maude Marquis-Bissonnette, the newly elected Mayor of Gatineau, has announced the new members of the executive committee. Steve Moran, Hull-Wright District councillor with Action Gatineau will be the president of the committee, while Marquis-Bissonnette, also with Action Gatineau, will be the vice-president. 

The other members include Daniel Champagne (Independent), Versant councillor, Edmond Leclerc (Independent), Buckingham councillor, and Tiffany-Lee Norris Parent (Action Gatineau) Touraine councillor. The executive committee has three Action Gatineau members, and two independent members. Before this new committee was formed it was made up of four independent councillors and one Action Gatineau councillor. 

“Each member of this committee brings a unique perspective and valuable expertise,” said Marquis-Bissonnette. “I am convinced that our collaboration will be fruitful. I am also delighted to present an executive committee which joins the parity zone, and which is representative of the average age of the population.” 

The committee serves as a decision-making body responsible for the city’s strategic direction, policies, and operations. Their first meeting was June 19, the day after the official swearing-in of Marquis- Bissonnette as Gatineau’s mayor.
