Bobby J. Villeneuve

Robert "Bobby" J. Villeneuve (born August 11, 1963, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada) is a former member of the Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly and former retail manager.

Villeneuve was first elected to the Northwest Territories Legislature in the 2003 Northwest Territories general election defeating incumbent Steven Nitah to win the Tu Nedhe electoral district.cite web|url= http://www.cbc.ca/nwtvotes2003/riding/012/ | title = NWT Votes 2003 Tu Nedhe Riding Profile | publisher = Canadian Broadcasting Corporation | accessdate=2007-09-13] He became mired in a scandal towards the end of his first term in office.

Villeneuve was disciplined by the Conflict of Interest commissioner in June 2007 after swearing a legal oath that he lived in Fort Resolution, Northwest Territories. Swearing the oath allowed him to gain access to a $25,000 a year "capital housing allowance" to provide for living accommodations in Yellowknife. The total estimated cost to tax payers was $65,000. He was forced to pay back $10,000 of it after it was determined he did not actually live in Fort Resolution.cite web|url= http://www.cbc.ca/canada/north/story/2007/06/07/nwt-housing.html | title = N.W.T.

He was defeated in his bid for re-election in the 2007 Northwest Territories general election. He finished with 2.5% of the vote, coming in a distant fourth place in a field of six candidates.cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/nwtvotes2007/riding/012/index.html| title= Northwest Territories Votes 2007 Thebacha riding profile | publisher = Canadian Broadcasting Corporation |accessdate=2007-10-01]
