Manon Perreault (born 1965) is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 2011 election.[1] She represents the electoral district of Montcalm as a member of the New Democratic Party.

Perreault was a municipal councillor in Sainte-Marie-Salomé, Quebec from 2002 to 2009. Before being elected to parliament, Perreault was an administrator and trainer. As a person living with restricted mobility, she worked with Kéroul, an organization promoting tourism for people with disabilities, and Handami, a regional association for people with disabilities.[2] Perreault became a paraplegic, following an equestrian accident in 1993.[3]

She joins cabinet minister Steven Fletcher as a member of Parliament who uses a wheelchair, and plans, among others, to use her parliamentary position to defend people with disabilities.[4][5] She was named to the NDP's shadow cabinet as critic for people with disabilities.
