Background

Ouellette was born in Oshawa , Ontario .[1] He graduated from Durham College in business administration . He managed a lumber operation and a national consulting firm. Ouellette is a former member of the governing board of Durham College, and a member of the Oshawa Naval Veterans Association. He is currently CEO of Chaga Health and Wellness.[2]
Politics
[ edit ]
Ouellette was elected to the Ontario legislature in the provincial election of 1995 , defeating incumbent New Democrat Allan Pilkey in Oshawa by about 8,000 votes.[3] He was re-elected by about 7,000 votes over Liberal Chris Topple in the 1999 provincial election , with the NDP falling to third place.[4] He was re-elected in 2003 , 2007 , and 2011 .
Ouellette supported Ernie Eves in the Progressive Conservative Party's 2002 leadership convention , and on April 15, 2002, was appointed Ontario Minister of Natural Resources .[5] In this capacity, he was generally regarded as an ally of the province's fishing and hunting community.
In the 2003 provincial election , Ouellette faced a strong challenge from provincial union representative and NDP candidate Sid Ryan . This was Ryan's third unsuccessful bid for a provincial seat (1999, Scarborough-Centre; 2003 and 2007, Oshawa) and his fifth electoral loss having been twice defeated by Colin Carrie , Oshawa's Conservative candidate and MP, in 2004 and 2006. Ouellette struggled to retain his seat, winning the 2003 race by 1,019 votes.[6] But the Progressive Conservatives lost the election and Ouellette moved to the opposition benches. Four years later, during the 2007 provincial election , Ouellette defeated Ryan a second time.[7] He was re-elected in the 2011 provincial election .[8]
In the 2014 provincial election he was defeated by New Democratic candidate Jennifer French by 7,695 votes.[9] [10]
