Jim Bennett (politician)

Jim Bennett was acclaimed as leader of the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador on Monday, February 6, 2006. However, he resigned his position just over three months later, after many differences in opinion with the Liberal Party caucus. He was replaced by former interim leader Gerry Reid.

Bennett is a lawyer, and is married to Sandra Pupatello, a member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario and Minister of Education and Minister responsible for Women's Issues in the Ontario Liberal Party government of Dalton McGuinty. Bennett is based in the western Newfoundland coast community of Daniel's Harbour after living a number of years in Windsor, Ontario. While living in Windsor, Bennett twice unsuccessfully sought election to Windsor's city council. He ran in the St. Barbs district for the 2007 general election but lost it to Wallace Young.
