Education

Goguen graduated from the Université de Moncton in 1980 with a Bachelor of Business Administration. He then graduated in 1983 from the Université de Moncton with a law degree. He worked as an attorney at Actus Law for over 25 years.

Political career

Goguen was elected MP for the Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe riding in the 2011 federal election, the first time a Conservative candidate had won the riding since 1988. Goguen ran for re-election in the 2015 federal election, placing second.

Controversy

Goguen was the subject of press attention in July 2014 after comments at a meeting of the House of Commons Justice Committee, when he asked a woman, Timea Nagy, who was gang raped, if "the police authorities would have broken in and rescued you. Would your freedom of expression have been breached?." Many considered the question to be inappropriate, but both Nagy and the minister defended the question. Nagy has since said "While Mr. Goguen’s question was awkward, I was not personally offended."
