Marguerite Nadeau was Master of the Royal Canadian Mint from October 3, 2005, to June 11, 2006. Following the resignation of David Dingwall, the Royal Canadian Mint Board of Directors announced that Marguerite Nadeau would serve as interim President and CEO (known affectionately as Master of the Mint) for a period of 60 days. Dingwall, a former Cabinet minister under Prime Minister Jean Chrétien
was facing an inquiry after opposition members revealed that his office claimed more than $740,000 in expenses in the previous year. Prior to the appointment, Nadeau was Vice-President of Legal and Corporate Affairs. She was appointed to that position in 2003.
She joined the Mint in 1984 as a legal counsel. Previous to her joining the RCM, she spent seven years at Supply and Services Canada. In 1985, she became Corporate Secretary of the RCM and in 1990, she was appointed Queen’s Counsel by Order in council. .
In late December 2005, her appointment as Master of the Mint was extended indefinitely. Her extension required approval of the Canadian government through order in council. The reason for the indefinite extension was attributed to the RCM still searching for a new President and CEO. Her term ended in June 2006 with the appointment of Ian Bennett
