Marie Isabelle Massip is a Canadian diplomat who was the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Canada to Liberia (presented her letters of credentials in August 2007).[1] She was appointed Ambassador to the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, with concurrent accreditation to the Republic of Benin.[2] In 2011, President Laurent Gbagbo of the Ivory Coast expelled Massip and British Ambassador Nicholas James Westcott after their respective governments said they would no longer recognize Gbagbo emissaries.[3] Canada would not honor the expulsion with Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon saying "Canada has not received a request from the legitimate government of Mr Alassane Ouattara to terminate our ambassador's functions."[4]
