Fernand Robichaud

Fernand Robichaud (born December 2 1939) is a Canadian politician.

Robichaud was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1984 Canadian election representing the riding of Westmoreland—Kent , New Brunswick. In 1988 he was re-elected representing Beauséjour. In 1990, he resigned his seat in order to allow newly elected Liberal leader Jean Chrétien to enter the House of Commons through a by-election. Robichaud served as Special Assistant to the Leader of the Opposition until returning to the House in the 1993 Canadian election. With the election of Chrétien as Prime Minister, Robichaud became Secretary of State for Parliamentary Affairs and then, in 1994, Secretary of State for Agriculture and Agri-Food, Fisheries and Oceans.

Robichaud did not run in the 1997 Canadian election and was appointed by Chrétien to the Canadian Senate on September 15 1994. From 2001 to 2004 he was deputy government leader in the Senate.
