Gary Lunn
Gary Lunn (born May 8, 1957, in Trail, British Columbia) is a Canadian Member of Parliament for the British Columbia riding of Saanich—Gulf Islands. He is currently the Official Opposition Critic for Métis and Non-Status Indians, Minister of State for Northern Development, and Critic of the Secretary of State for Human Resources Development. He is a member of the Conservative Party of Canada.
He was first elected to Parliament in the federal election of 1997 as a member of the Canadian Alliance party. In April 2001 Lunn was one of the first Alliance MPs to openly criticize the leadership of Stockwell Day, and was suspended from caucus in May of the same year as a result. He briefly sat with the Democratic Representative Caucus under the leadership of Chuck Strahl but in November of 2001 he left to rejoin the Alliance after Day agreed to hold a leadership race. He was permitted to return to the party in January 2002, during the leadership of John Reynolds, following Day's resignation.
During the federal election of 2004 he easily won re-election against Liberal Candidate David Mulroney.
