| Info | Jeannot Volpé was born in Saint-Jacques in northwestern New Brunswick, where he still lives. He earned a bachelor's degree in physical education at the Université de Moncton.
Mr. Volpé taught physical education in the Edmundston area in the early 1980s. During those years, he was also a coach in gymnastics, wrestling, and track and field. He has always enjoyed sports, especially hunting and fishing.
His return to the family farm in the early 1980s gave him the opportunity to become involved in various farming organizations, which he headed for a number of years. He was also the founding president of the Fédération des agriculteurs francophones du nord-ouest du Nouveau-Brunswick and a director of several national farm organizations.
He was first elected to the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly as a Progressive-Conservative member on September 11, 1995, in the riding of Madawaska-les-Lacs, and has served on several government standing committees.
He was caucus president for four years and was Opposition critic for several departments and a member of the Select Committee on the Environment and the Select Committee on Energy.
He was re-elected in June 1999, and was sworn in as the new Minister of Natural Resources and Minister responsible for the Energy Secretariat on June 21, 1999, and was co-chair of the Board of Management. He was re-elected as member for Madawaska-les-Lacs on June 9, 2003, and was sworn in as Minister of Finance on June 27, 2003.
Mr. Volpé is the proud father of four children: Dino, Gino, Bruno, and Marco.
