The Honourable John Manley was first elected to Parliament as a Liberal in 1988, and re-elected three times. From 1993 to 2000, he served as Minister of Industry and also as Minister for each of three regional economic development departments of the federal government.

Mr. Manley served as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2000 to 2002. Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, he was named Chairman of a new Cabinet Committee on Public Security and Anti-terrorism and counterpart to U.S. Homeland Security Chief, Governor Tom Ridge. For the role he played following 9/11, he was named TIME Canada Magazine's "Newsmaker of the Year" in December 2001.

In January 2002, Mr. Manley was appointed Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, Political Minister for Ontario, Minister of Infrastructure and Crown Corporations, and Chairman of the principal Cabinet committees. He added the role of Finance Minister in June 2002 and presented the Government’s federal budget in February 2003.

In 2005, Mr. Manley co-chaired an independent Task Force on the future of North America for the Washington-based Council on Foreign Relations. In October 2007, he was named chair of the Independent Panel on Canada’s Future Role in Afghanistan by the Prime Minister.

Mr. Manley is currently counsel in the Ottawa and Toronto offices of McCarthy Tétrault.
