Bardish Chagger, Vorlage:Postnom is a Canadian politician who is the current Minister of Small Business and Tourism and the Member of Parliament for the riding of Waterloo. Chagger was elected as a Liberal member of the House of Commons of Canada in the 2015 Canadian election.[1][2]
Early life and career
Chagger's parents immigrated to Waterloo from India in the 1970s. Her father Goji was active in Liberal Party politics and an admirer of Pierre Trudeau, and Chagger's first involvement in politics came in the 1993 federal election as a 13-year-old volunteer for Andrew Telegdi's successful campaign in Waterloo. She attended the University of Waterloo, with aspirations to become a nurse, but she subsequently became an executive assistant to Telegdi, who represented Waterloo in the House of Commons for the Liberals from 1993 to 2008.[3]
Chagger graduated from Waterloo with a bachelor's degree in science.[4] After Telegedi's defeat in 2008, Chagger became a director of special events for the Kitchener-Waterloo Multicultural Centre.[4]
Federal politics
Chagger volunteered for Justin Trudeau's 2013 party leadership bid, and subsequently became the Liberal Party's candidate in the newly-reconstituted Waterloo riding. She took 50% of the vote and defeated two-term Conservative incumbent Peter Braid, who had earlier ousted her former employer Andrew Telegdi.[4][3]
Minister for Small Business and Tourism
On November 4, 2015 Chagger was sworn in as Minister of Small Business and Tourism.[5]
