Alexandre Salameh (Conservative)

A native of Beirut, Lebanon, Alexandre Salameh, who chose to make his home in Quebec in 1986, has lived in Duvernay for the past eight years, where his three children, now aged 8, 12, and 14, were born. He holds an MBA from the School of Hautes Études Commerciales (HEC) of the University of Montreal and a degree in graduate studies from l'École Polytechnique de Montréal. He also holds a degree in civil engineering from Beirut's Saint-Joseph's University. The head of a real estate group active in the Greater Montreal Metropolitan region, Mr. Salameh is heavily involved in his cultural community as shown by his membership in the Lebanese-Canadian Congress and the Cedars Forum, both of which he founded in 1997 and 2005, respectively. Added to this is his twenty-year involvement in the Lebanese Catholic Church. He currently speaks fluent French, English, Arabic and Italian.

"Residents of the riding have communicated to me their particular interest in questions and concerns revolving around family, safety and security, and above all, the needs and pre-occupations of the elderly," Alexandre Salameh stated to Courrier Laval. He added that all the residents he's encountered since the beginning of the election campaign have talked to him of nothing else than the national issues.
