She ran for Mayor of Ottawa in 1985 but lost to Jim Durrell by over 20,000 votes. She was well involved in Ottawa politics serving as an alderman on Ottawa City Council from 1976 to 1985. She has been criticised for not doing enough for the Queensway-Carleton Hospital in her riding. The hospital, which sits on federal government land, was being charged rent by the National Capital Commission and the hospital was forced to solicit donations from area residents for an expansion plan. Catterall announced that she would not be a candidate in the 2006 federal election. Following her retirement, the riding changed from Liberal to Conservative by a margin of around 5,000 votes. ==External links== * *("How'd They Vote?":Marlene Catterall's voting history and quotes ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marlene Catterall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
