Marc Garneau

Joseph Jean-Pierre Marc Garneau, CC CD FCASI MP is a Canadian retired military officer, former astronaut, engineer and politician.
Garneau was the first Canadian in space taking part in three flights aboard NASA Space shuttles. He was the president of the Canadian Space Agency from 2001 to 2006, and in 2003 was installed as the ninth Chancellor of Carleton University in Ottawa.
In 2006, Garneau entered politics, seeking a seat as federal Member of Parliament with the Liberal Party of Canada. He was an unsuccessful candidate in the riding of Vaudreuil-Soulanges during that year's election, but two years later won the riding of Westmount—Ville-Marie in downtown Montreal by more than 9000 votes. He was re-elected to House of Commons in the 2011 federal election by 642 votes » Read more on Wikipedia.org
