Liza Frulla, PC (born March 30, 1949), also formerly known as Liza Frulla-Hébert, is a former Quebec politician. She was a Quebec Liberal Party MNA in the National Assembly of Quebec from 1989 to 1998, and a Liberal Member of Parliament from 2002 to 2006.

From 1974 to 1976, she worked for the public affairs service of the organizing committee for the 1976 Montreal Olympics. She subsequently became the first woman sports reporter accredited to cover professional sport in the electronic media.

Provincial politics

From 1989 to 1998, she represented the provincial riding of Marguerite-Bourgeoys in the National Assembly of Quebec. She was Minister of Communications and Minister of Cultural Affairs. She was vice-chair of the NO committee in the 1995 Quebec referendum. However, on November 1, 2007, while appearing on the RDI program "Le Club des Ex", she did admit to having voted for the YES side in the 1980 referendum.

In 1998, she left the National Assembly to host her own show, "Liza", on public broadcaster SRC until 2002.

Federal politics

She was elected to Parliament in a 2002 by-election in the now-defunct riding of Verdun—Saint-Henri—Saint-Paul—Pointe-Saint-Charles, and, after that riding was merged with portions of neighbouring ridings to form Jeanne-Le Ber, she was reelected by a razor-thin margin over St-Cyr in 2004.

Frulla has the prenomial "the Honourable" and the postnomial "PC" for life by virtue of being made a member of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada on December 12, 2003. [ [http://www.pco-bcp.gc.ca/default.asp?Language=E&Page=InformationResources&Sub=PrivyCouncilMembers] ] She was the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Minister responsible for the Status of Women in the cabinet of Prime Minister Paul Martin and previously served as Minister of Social Development.

In September 2007, Frulla became disenchanted with the Liberal Party of Canada under the leadership of Stéphane Dion, and she refused an offer to represent the party in the riding of LaSalle-Emard.
