Fr. '''Raymond Gravel''' (born 1953 in [[Saint-Damien, Quebec|Saint-Damien-de-Brandon, Quebec]]) is a priest and politician from the [[Canada|Canadian]] province of [[Quebec]], who is currently the [[Member of Parliament]] for the riding of [[Repentigny (electoral district)|Repentigny]], as a member of the [[Bloc Québécois]]. He was elected to the House of Commons in a [[November 27]], [[2006]] by-election following the death of [[Benoît Sauvageau]].


==Biography==
Gravel had an eventful youth during which he worked in bars in Montreal's [[Gay Village (Montreal)|Gay Village]]; he has been open about the fact that he was a sex-trade worker during that time. He entered the seminary in 1982 and became a priest. Gravel is controversial among the Catholic clergy and laity for his support of [[abortion]] and [[same-sex marriage]] — two issues officially opposed by the Church. He is currently the priest at St-Joachim de la Plaine Church in [[La Plaine, Quebec]].
===Early life===
Jayaram Subramaniyam born in a family of [[Palakkad Iyyers]] in [[Perumbavoor]], [[Kerala]],completed his education from Sri Sankara College, [[Kaladi]]. When he was studying there, he won several awards in state level for [[Impressionist (entertainment)|mimicry]]. That made him to make the decision to make art as his profession.


===Career===
He was acclaimed as the Bloc's candidate on [[October 29]], [[2006]]. He received a dispensation from [[Gilles Lussier]], bishop of Joliette, to enter politics. Elected with a large majority in the Bloc stronghold, he became the Bloc critic for seniors' issues.
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Aparan.JPG|right|thumb|200*300px|[[Jayaram]] in his First Movie Aparan]] -->
After college, he joined ''Kalabhavan'', a well known professional [[Impressionist (entertainment)|mimicry]] troupe. He was spotted by the noted [[malayalam]] [[film director]], [[Padmarajan]] who gave Jayaram his launching pad with the 1988 film ''Aparan''. Padmarajan became his [[mentoring|mentor]] in his film career till the former's death in January, 1991.


Within few years since his debut, He acted in several critically acclaimed films like ''Moonnampakkam'' (1988),''Mazhavilkavadi'' (1989), ''Thooval Sparsham'' (1990), ''Keli'' (1991),''Thooval Kottaram'' (1996), ''Veendum Chila Veettukaryangal''(1999) and Sesham (2002). His association with directors [[Sathyan Anthikkad]], [[Rajasenan]] created many commercilly successful movies.
However, following his opposition to Bill C-484, which would have recognized injury of a fetus during a crime as a separate offence from an injury to the mother, and his support for Dr. [[Henry Morgentaler]] receiving the [[Order of Canada]], Gravel was ordered by the Vatican to either give up the priesthood or leave politics, and he finally announced he would not run in the [[40th Canadian federal election]], saying that the priesthood was his life.<ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2008/09/03/mtl-raymondgravel0903.html#articlecomments Priest MP leaves politics after pressure from Vatican], ''[[CBC News]]'', [[September 3]], [[2008]]</ref>
He cited as his biggest regret his inability to pass his [[private member's bill]] C-490, which aimed to improve seniors' access to guaranteed income supplements.


He forayed into [[Tamil cinema|Tamil film industry]] as well, and was moderately successful there. A pick of Tamil films he did are ''Gokulam'', ''Purushalakshanam'', ''Priyanka'', ''Kolangal'', ''Murai Mamman'' and ''Pathini ''. His friendship with [[Kamal Haasan]] is also famous. His role as ''Dr. Kailash'' in Kamal Haasan starrer ''[[Thenali]]'' was well-appreciated.
