Gérard Niding

Gérard Niding (1924–2011) was a Canadian politician and a City Councillor in Montreal, Quebec.

He was elected to Montreal's City Council in 1954 as a Civic Action League candidate in the district of Papineau.

He succeeded Lucien Saulnier as Chairman of Montreal's Executive Committee as served from 1970 to 1978.

An inquiry, headed by Justice Albert Malouf, led to the filing of corruption charges against Gérard Niding, who was chairman of Montreal's executive committee.

Niding pleaded guilty to breach of trust and accepting a bribe for passing untendered Olympic construction contracts to engineer Régis Trudeau, who built a house for Niding in Bromont in exchange.
