- Charles Strahl, PC, MP is a politician in British Columbia, Canada. He is a Member of Parliament in the governing Conservative Party of Canada, and is the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Strahl was raised in British Columbia's Interior, attended Trinity Western University, and worked for a private logging and road building company called Cheam Construction, which was owned by his father Bill Strahl, and later by him and his siblings after his father died. He was first elected to office in the Reform Party sweep of the region in the 1993 election. He was re-elected in 1997 and 2000 elections, running as a member of the Canadian Alliance, which had replaced Reform, in 2000. He represents Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon, a large riding comprising the Upper Fraser Valley, a primarily agricultural area of the province, and the Fraser Canyon-Lillooet-Bridge River regions, which are mostly wilderness with a resource-based economy and also, like the Chilliwack area, have a significant First Nations population. He has held a number of shadow cabinet and committee positions. Strahl first rose to national prominence in the summer of 2001 when he was the leader and most outspoken member of a group of Canadian Alliance MPs opposed to the leadership of Stockwell Day. Strahl and a group of other MPs left the Alliance caucus and sat as members of the Democratic Representative Caucus and worked closely with the Progressive Conservative Party. Strahl's efforts were successful, and Day was ousted as party leader and replaced by Stephen Harper. Strahl was viewed as a well-spoken and moderate member of the Canadian Alliance who could woo eastern Canada, but his leadership ambitions were frustrated due to his inability to speak French, as well as the lasting distrust amongst many colleagues over his rebellion in 2001. He attempted to launch a bid for the leadership of the Conservative Party, but could not secure enough financial or political support to launch a viable campaign. Strahl then supported Tony Clement in his failed leadership bid. At the outset of the 38th Parliament of Canada, Strahl was appointed Deputy Speaker and Chairman of Committees of the Whole under the new rules brought about as a result of the minority government situation. In August 2005, Strahl announced that he had been diagnosed with inoperable/terminal lung cancer as the result of exposure to asbestos many years prior. He noticed the problem in July of the same year when his lung collapsed twice. However, despite his health problems, he successfully ran for re-election in the 2006 election. Although it was widely speculated that he would become Speaker of the new Parliament, he instead joined Stephen Harper's Cabinet as Minister of Agriculture on February 6, 2006. On August 14, 2007, he became Indian Affairs Minister and The Federal Interlocutor in a cabinet shuffle. Strahl married in 1975 and has four children. He is a member of the Chilliwack Alliance Church.
- L'honorable Charles « Chuck » Strahl, C.P. , est un homme politique canadien dans la province de Colombie-Britannique. Il est député à la Chambre des communes, où il siège sous la bannière du Parti conservateur du Canada. Il est ministre de l'Agriculture et de l'Agroalimentaire, ainsi que ministre de la Commission canadienne du blé depuis le 6 février 2006. Strahl a été élevé dans l'intérieur de la Colombie-Britannique, où il est né, et travailla pour une compagnie de construction routière privée. Il fut élu pour la première fois sous la bannière du Parti réformiste du Canada, lorsque celui-ci balaya la région dans l'élection fédérale de 1993. Il fut ré-élu en 1997 et encore en 2000, cette fois-ci avec l'Alliance canadienne, qui remplaça le Parti réformiste en 2000. Il représente la circonscription de Fraser Valley, une grande circonscription dans une région principalement agricole de la province. Il a occupé plusieurs postes dans divers comités, ainsi qu'au sein du cabinet fantôme. Strahl acquit une notoriété nationale pendant l'été de 2001, lorsqu'il fut le chef et le plus vocal d'un group de députés alliancistes opposés à la direction de Stockwell Day. Strahl quitta le caucus allianciste avec plusieurs autres députés du parti. Le groupe sièga ensuite sous le nom du Caucus démocratique représentatif et travailla étroitement avec le Parti progressiste-conservateur du Canada. Les efforts de Strahl portèrent fruit, et Stockwell Day fut éjecté de son poste de chef et remplacé par Stephen Harper. Strahl était vu comme un membre modéré de l'Alliance canadienne qui pourrait séduire l'est canadien, mais ses ambitions de leader furent limités par son incapacité à parler français, ainsi qu'une méfiance perdurante de la part de bien de ses collègues à cause de sa rébellion en 2001. Il tenta de se porter candidat à la chefferie du Parti conservateur du Canada, mais fut incapable de trouver suffisamment de soutien, à la fois politique que financier, pour lancer une campagne viable. Strahl se rallia alors à Tony Clement, qui fut finalement défait lors de la course par Stephen Harper. Au début du 38 Parlement du Canada, Strahl fut désigné Vice-président des comités à cause des nouvelles règles engendrés par le gouvernement minoritaire. En août 2005, Strahl annonça qu'il était atteint d'un cancer du poumon, qui était inopérable et en phase terminale, dû au fait qu'il fut exposé à de l'amiante des années auparavant.
