Quebec
Roland Paradis (Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour)
Roland Paradis was a building contractor living in Bécancour in 1993. He received 13,781 votes (31.04%), finishing second against Bloc Québécois incumbent Louis Plamondon. He initially planned to seek the Liberal nomination again for the 2004 federal election but did not present his candidacy at the nomination meeting.
Normand Biron (Mercier)
Normand Biron (1944 – 19 March 2008) was a chartered accountant. He ran for the Liberal nomination in Anjou—Rivière-des-Prairies in the buildup to the 1988 federal election but withdrew before the vote, charging that the local party association's cultural divisions would make it impossible for a francophone to win. He won the same riding's nomination for the 1993 election and finished a very close second to Bloc Québécois candidate Roger Pomerleau. He was defeated by a wider margin in 2000.
Manitoba
Richard B. (Dick) Scott (Brandon—Souris)
Scott was born on 3 March 1945, and received a Grade Twelve education.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Liberal Party of Canada candidates in the 2000 Canadian federal election” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 1, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q6540750. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2000, 1993, 2004 and 1944.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
