Well that's interesting!
Renaud was the first francophone from the Maritimes to sit in the federal parliament. A Liberal born in France but living in New Brunswick, he served only one term representing Kent from 1867 to 1872, when he was defeated by another Liberal, Robert Cutler. (Yes, that could happen back then.)
