During the period 1995 to 2001 Mr. Imbert focused on the application of his knowledge and skills in Engineering as a Property Developer and Project Manager throughout the Caribbean Region. During his fourth, fifth and sixth terms as a Member of Parliament, from 2001 to 2010, he once again served in the Cabinet as Minister of Health and Minister of Science and Technology until he again resumed responsibility for the portfolio of the Ministry of Works and Transport.
After the General Election of 2007, Mr. Imbert took on the additional responsibility of Leader of the House and continued to build on his past performance in the Ministry of Works and Transport in development of the country’s infrastructure. In 2010, in his seventh term as an MP, he went into Opposition for the third time, where he served as the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee of the Parliament.
