He added that he hopes Gallant shows her support for veterans by voting for the new Liberal government’s veterans platform. Lehoux is a retired military veteran with near 10-years’ service, much of it as a paramedic. The 38year-old Renfrew native was injured in the line of duty in Afghanistan and received a medical release. If Gallant, 55, finishes out the four-year term, she will be the longest running MP in the riding’s short history. Liberal Len Hopkins lasted a year less than Gallant’s 19 years. She has never held a cabinet position. Gallant is largely viewed as one of the strongest social conservatives in the House of Commons. While a popular figure among the Christian rights and property rights activists, she has at times outraged opponents and the general population with verbal gaffes and extreme views. Serving in a riding with the nation’s largest military base and only national nuclear research facility, she has advocated for increased federal support for Garrison Petawawa and the Chalk River Laboratories. In the 2011 election, Gallant won with 53 per cent (or 27,462 votes.) Clouthier had 19 per cent, New Democrats 13, Liberals 13, and Greens 2. Her largest win was in 2008 with 61 per cent.
