Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel: Suzanne Courville
Suzanne Courville is a sales and customer service representative. At the time of the 2006 election, she worked for a frozen food company. Elections Canada alleged in 2008 that Courville received funds that came under scrutiny in the Conservative Party's in-and-out funding scheme.
Courville sought election to municipal office in Mirabel in 2005. There was also a candidate named Suzanne Courville in the 2009 municipal election in Terrebonne, although this may have been a different person.
Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour: Marie-Ève Hélie-Lambert
Marie-Ève Hélie-Lambert was 26 years old at the time of the election, and was a Philosophy student at the University of Quebec in Trois-Rivières. She previously worked at a centre for drug addicts. She lived in the nearby Berthier-Maskinongé riding, but indicated that she did not want to oppose Marie-Claude Godue as the Conservative candidate there. Hélie-Lambert expressed interest in stopping the exodus of young people from the region, and was writing a book on the loss of collective responsibility in society. She was not right-wing in her personal views, and said that she was running for the Conservatives as a "citizen open to the world".
She received 11,588 votes (23.36%), finishing second against Bloc Québécois incumbent Louis Plamondon. Elections Canada subsequently alleged that Hélie-Lambert was one of a number of Conservative Party candidates involved in a funding scheme, wherein the central party organization transferred funds in and out of her riding to avoid spending limit restrictions.
Hull—Aylmer: Gilles Poirier
Poirier is a teacher at the Université du Québec en Outaouais, and is a former vice-president of the New Democratic Party in the riding. He nevertheless chose to run for the Conservatives in the 2006 election, during which he improved his party's showing by 9% and moved up to 3rd place in a traditionally left-wing and federalist riding. Liberal incumbent Marcel Proulx retained his seat.
La Pointe-de-l'Île: Christian Prévost
Christian Prévost's campaign literature indicated that he had experience organizing, promoting, and co-ordinating several sporting events, particularly in the field of soccer. He had previously contested the same electoral division in 2004. There is a Christian Prévost who sought election to the Montreal city council in a 2008 by-election, although this may not have been the same person.
Lac-Saint-Louis: Andrea Paine
A graduate from Concordia University with a double major in journalism and political science, she also studied civil law at Université Laval.
Prior to the 2006 election, she worked as a Legislative Assistant to the Opposition House Leader on Parliament Hill. In addition, she was the party's official spokesperson for Montreal's West Island.
