About Denis Lebel

Denis Lebel is a Canadian politician who served as mayor of Roberval, Quebec, and deputy leader of the Official Opposition. Lebel was elected to the House of Commons of Canada on September 17, 2007, in the Roberval—Lac-Saint-Jean by-election, as a member of the Conservative Party.
