the Future Hospital. He also represented the island in the Assemblée Parlementaire de la Francophonie and the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly. His political achievements include support the dairy industry through the Howard Davis Farm, making social housing rents "flexible" (up to 90% of market rates rather than at 90%), single-day elections and exempting food from GST. While same-sex marriage was being debated in the States Assembly, Le Fondré aided in producing a 'tolerance clause' which would have allowed businesses to decline to serve same-sex or trans couples for religious reasons, however this proposal was rejected.
