Marie-Claude Bibeau is to take over from the popular Lawrence MacAulay who worked tirelessly for Canadian farmers. His legacy speaks for itself.
Bibeau may be the most qualified person it the Liberal caucus as her husband is the mayor or Sherbrooke Quebec. Sherbrooke is kind of rural and Bibeau drives by farms occasionally.
Bibeau was born and raised in Sherbrooke, Quebec and earned a bachelor's degree in economics and a graduate diploma in environmental management from Université de Sherbrooke. Following her graduation, she worked for the Canadian International Development Agency, and was variously posted in Ottawa, Montreal, Morocco and Benin. After leaving the agency, she returned to Compton, and spent 15 years operating a successful tourism business.[3]
In her capacity as minister, Bibeau served a two-year term as member of the World Bank Group’s (WBG) Advisory Council on Gender and Development from 2015 until 2017.[4] In September 2016, she was appointed by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to serve as member of the Lead Group of the Scaling Up Nutrition Movement.[5] Also since 2016, she has been serving on the board of the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children.[6] In 2017, she served on the World Health Organization/Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights High-Level Working Group on the Health and Human Rights of Women, Children and Adolescents, chaired by Tarja Halonen and Hina Jilani.[7]
