- Harold Glenn Albrecht is a Member of Parliament (MP) for the Conservative Party of Canada in the riding of Kitchener—Conestoga. He defeated the incumbent Liberal MP, Lynn Myers, by just over 1000 votes in the 2006 federal election to gain a seat in the Canadian House of Commons. Albrecht grew up in the riding in which he was elected and was educated in Waterloo Region at Waterloo-Oxford District Secondary School, and then at Waterloo Lutheran University (which is now Wilfrid Laurier University). He owned a private dental practice in Kitchener for twenty-seven years and was also a trustee on the Waterloo County Board of Education from 1978 to 1982, as well as being the Chair of the Board from 1981 to 1982. In his dentistry career, he also went on many short-term Christian missions trips to Third World countries. In 1999, Albrecht left his dentistry practice to pastor Pathway Community Church in the Doon area of Kitchener. The church started meeting in November of that year, with a small congregation of around 70 people. It also became the third Brethren in Christ church in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. Albrecht pastored the church until 2005, when he announced a leave of absence to seek the Conservative Party nomination in his riding. When he won the nomination, he permanently resigned his leadership position from the Church. During the 2006 federal election, Albrecht's candidacy drew national media attention from reporters hunting for "hidden agendas" among Conservative candidates. At one point, Albrecht was hustled into a kitchen to keep him away from reporters at a Kitchener campaign event so that he could not comment on his religious views and his opposition to same-sex marriage. In Ottawa, Albrecht is the founder and chair of the BioCaucus, a group of MPs who work to promote the production of agricultural and renewable technologies. He sits on the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development committee and the Government Operations and Estimates committee. Albrecht favours reforming Canada’s Youth Criminal Justice Act. In particular, he would like to see stiffer sentences for young offenders who commit violent crimes. His interest was sparked by the Justice for Dustin Campaign-an endeavour by the family of a murdered Kitchener teen to see stricter sentences for violent young offenders. Albrecht owns a hobby farm in between Petersburg and New Dundee, and he and his wife Betty have been married for over thirty-five years. They have three children and seven grandchildren.
- Harold Glenn Albrecht est un homme politique canadien; il est actuellement député à la Chambre des communes du Canada, représentant la circonscription ontarienne de Kitchener—Conestoga depuis l'élection fédérale de 2006 sous la bannière du Parti conservateur du Canada. Lors de cette élection, il a défait la députée libérale sortante Lynn Myers par seulement 1000 voix. Albrecht a grandi dans la circonscription ou il a été élu et a fait ses études au Waterloo Lutheran University. Il était dentiste et a possédé sa clinique privée à Kitchener pendant 27 ans. Durant sa carrière de dentiste, il a également participé à plusieurs voyages missionnaires chrétiens de courte durée vers des pays du tiers-monde. En 1999 Albrecht quitte sa carrière de dentiste pour devenir pasteur du Pathway Community Church; il a occupé se poste jusqu'en 2005 lorsqu'il a annoncé qu'il s'absentait pour briguer l'investiture du Parti conservateur dans sa circonscription. Lorsqu'il a remporté la course à l'investiture, il a démisionné de sa position à la tête de l'Église de façon permanente. Albrecht a fait les manchettes au niveau national lors de sa campagne lorsqu'il a été éloigné des journalistes lors d'un évènement électoral du Parti conservateur. Certains ont accusé le chef conservateur Stephen Harper de l'avoir bailloné pour l'empêcher de faire des commentaires sur ses fortes opinions contre le mariage homosexuel; Harper a nié ces allégations. Albrecht a également été directement pris pour cible, avec une poignée d'autres candidats conservateurs, par l'ancien premier ministre Paul Martin qui affirmait que les Canadiens devraient s'inquiéter de la possibilité d'un agenda caché. Albrecht et son épouse Betty sont mariés depuis plus de 35 ans et ont trois enfants.
