Before entering federal politics, Emmanuella Lambropoulos was a French and history teacher at Rosemount High School in Montreal. She also reportedly founded a non-profit organization with her brother that aimed to provide tutoring services to children.
Key Relationships & Connections
Lambropoulos's entry into politics was marked by a significant nomination victory in 2017 for a by-election in the Saint-Laurent riding. She defeated Yolande James, a former provincial cabinet minister who was reportedly the preferred candidate of the Liberal Party establishment. This victory positioned her as a grassroots candidate who won against the party's chosen contender.
Public Controversies
In 2021, Lambropoulos faced public controversy for comments made during a meeting of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Official Languages. She questioned whether the French language was in decline in Quebec, which prompted significant backlash from Quebec politicians, including Premier François Legault, and the public. She later issued a public apology for her remarks, stating that she did not express herself properly and acknowledged that the French language is in decline. She was subsequently removed from the committee by the Liberal party whip.

You referenced the Indian Act and how this is stopping many of the women in your community from being able to access the care they need during episodes of violence. I'm wondering if there is a specific amendment to the Indian Act that you would
If the indigenous community does have the right to self-determination, what role can the federal government play without interfering in that self-determination?
