Dominic LeBlanc

Last updated

On October 27, 2008, LeBlanc was the first candidate to officially announce his intention to seek the leadership of the Liberal party to replace Stéphane Dion. Former leadership candidates Michael Ignatieff and Bob Rae came forward shortly after LeBlanc's announcement. [14] His supporters included top staffers in the prime minister's office under Jean Chrétien, such as his former chief of staff Percy Downe, and Tim Murphy, chief of staff under Paul Martin. Some senior organizers in Gerard Kennedy's 2006 leadership bid were also with LeBlanc. [15]

On December 8, 2008, LeBlanc announced he was dropping out of the leadership race because he felt a new leader needed to be in place as soon as possible and that he was throwing his support behind Ignatieff. The next day Rae dropped out of the race and Ignatieff was acclaimed leader when Dion stepped down. [16] [17]

41st Canadian Parliament

LeBlanc retained his seat in the 2011 election, while the Liberals dropped down to third place in the House of Commons.

Following Ignatieff's resignation as leader, LeBlanc was seen as a potential leadership candidate. [18] LeBlanc did not say whether he was considering a bid but hoped to be part of the "rebuilding and renewal" of the party. [19] Later, LeBlanc said that the next leader needs to commit 10 to 15 years of his or her life "occupied exclusively" with rebuilding the Liberal party and winning elections. [20] On October 5, 2012, he announced he would not stand for the leadership and instead endorsed Justin Trudeau. [21]

From 2012 to 2015, LeBlanc served as the Liberal opposition house leader.

Trudeau government

42nd Canadian Parliament

Leader of the Government in the House of Commons

On November 4, 2015, he was appointed the leader of the Government in the House of Commons in the present Cabinet, headed by Justin Trudeau. [22]

As Government House Leader, LeBlanc was an ex officio member of the Board of Internal Economy, a committee of Members of Parliament chaired by the Speaker of the House of Commons who oversees the internal affairs of the House of Commons. He had previously been a member of committee as the Liberal Party’s House Leader while in opposition from 2012 to 2015, and continued to serve on the Board until October 26, 2023. [23]

During his tenure as House Leader, LeBlanc introduced Bill C-22, which created the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, a committee composed of Members of Parliament and Senators equipped with top-secret security clearances and with a mandate to conduct oversight of the work of Canada’s national security and intelligence community. The committee is the first body of its kind in Canada, offering parliamentarians an unprecedented view into highly classified intelligence and activities conducted by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), the Communications Security Establishment (CSE), the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Global Affairs Canada. It produces classified and unclassified reports which are shared with the Prime Minister. The classified version of the report is subsequently tabled in Parliament and released publicly. [24]

Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard

On May 31, 2016, upon the resignation of Hunter Tootoo from the Ministry, LeBlanc also became the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard. His father had previously held the equivalent position under Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. [25]

As a Minister from an Atlantic province, LeBlanc was also one of the instigators behind the Atlantic Growth Strategy, an intergovernmental forum comprising all four Atlantic premiers and all Atlantic federal ministers launched on July 4, 2016. The Strategy’s goal is to attract newcomers and investment to Atlantic Canada by enabling collaboration between the federal government and Atlantic provinces on immigration, innovation, clean technology, trade and investment, and infrastructure. [26]

On August 19, 2016, LeBlanc was replaced as leader of the Government in the House of Commons by Bardish Chagger. He retained the post of Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard. [3] During his tenure as Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, LeBlanc modernized the Fisheries Act, strengthening the provisions contained in the legislation regarding the protection of fish stocks and fish habitat. [27] He also introduced legislation amending the Oceans Act [28] and the Canada Petroleum Resources Act to establish a national network of Marine Protected Areas, a novel type of conservation measure in Canada. Since then, 14 Oceans Act Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been established across Canada, comprising over 350,000 km² or roughly 6% of Canada’s marine and coastal areas, contributing to Canada’s goal of protecting 30% of its marine areas by 2030, in accordance with its international commitments.

LeBlanc’s tenure was also marked by heightened concerns regarding the entanglement of North Atlantic Right Whales, an endangered species, in fishing gear, leading to the death of several cetaceans. In response, LeBlanc engaged with industry groups, Indigenous communities and United States fishing authorities to develop new fishing gear and implement seasonal restrictions to maritime traffic to reduce the risk of entanglement and collisions. [29]

On September 12, 2018, the ethics commissioner, Mario Dion found LeBlanc broke conflict of interest rules when he awarded a lucrative Arctic surf clam licence to a company linked to his wife's cousin in February 2018. [30]

Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Northern Affairs and Internal Trade

On July 18, 2018, LeBlanc was shuffled from Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard to Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Northern Affairs and Internal Trade, a combination of two positions, Intergovernmental Affairs and Youth, and Northern Affairs. [31] He also became vice-chair of the Cabinet Committee on Agenda, Results and Communications, which is manages the government’s overall strategic agenda and priority setting, and tracks implementation, which is chaired by the Prime Minister.

As Minister of Northern Affairs, LeBlanc shepherded legislation amending the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act to give Indigenous communities in the Northwest Territories and the surrounding region a greater say in the management of resource development projects. [32]

On the internal trade front, LeBlanc advanced several initiatives to make it easier to trade within Canada. He pushed provinces and territories to standardize provincial regulations in several key industries, including construction, food and drink, and manufacturing, reducing administrative burdens and making it easier for businesses to do business in other provinces. [33] In December 2018, at a First Ministers’ Meeting in Montréal, LeBlanc led a discussion with Premiers on ways to strengthen internal trade in Canada. [34]

On April 26, 2019, LeBlanc announced he would be stepping back from cabinet as he sought treatment for cancer. [35]

43rd Canadian Parliament

President of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada

On November 20, 2019, LeBlanc returned to Cabinet as President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, a position with reduced responsibilities. His former role as Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Northern Affairs and Internal Trade, was split between the minister of northern affairs, and the minister of intergovernmental affairs. [36]

After the resignation of Bill Morneau as Minister of Finance, LeBlanc again became Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs after his successor, Chrystia Freeland, took the role of Minister of Finance in a cabinet shuffle on August 18, 2020. He retained his position as President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada. [37]

44th Canadian Parliament

Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities

On October 26, 2021, LeBlanc was appointed Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities, [38] as well as chair of the Sub-Committee on Intergovernmental Coordination, which takes an intergovernmental lens to the key issues before the government. He continued to chair the Cabinet Committee on Operations and the Sub-Committee on the Federal Response to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). [39]

During his tenure, he oversaw the allocation of billions of dollars of investment through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) and reached deals with provinces and territories to accelerate the allocation of their respective ICIP funding envelopes ahead of the planned deadline. This was meant to boost public investment in job-creating projects during a time of economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. [40]

Throughout this time, LeBlanc also retained responsibilities for several files he was previously assigned, including Democratic Institutions and Internal Trade.

In his role as Minister responsible for Democratic Institutions, he oversaw the adoption of the Preserving Provincial Representation in the House of Commons Act in 2022, which amended the Constitution Act, 1867 to provide that a province may not have fewer Members of Parliament than it had during the 43rd Parliament. This was in response to riding boundary adjustments made following the 2021 decennial census, which would otherwise have seen Quebec lose a seat in the House of Commons. [41]

In his role as Minister responsible for Internal Trade, in December 2022, he launched the Federal Action Plan to Strengthen Internal Trade, which led to the removal and narrowing of one third of all federal exceptions in the 2017 Canadian Free Trade Agreement. [42] In November 2024, LeBlanc accompanied Prime Minister Trudeau for his meeting with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

Minister of Finance and Intergovernmental Affairs

On December 16, 2024, he was sworn in as the minister of finance following the surprise resignation of former finance minister and deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland. [43] LeBlanc was considered as a possible candidate in the 2025 Liberal Party of Canada leadership election, upon the resignation of Trudeau. [44] [45] He declined to run in the election, citing the need to focus on potential tariffs from the incoming second Trump administration. [46]

Personal life

In 2003, he married Jolène Richard, a former Moncton lawyer who became a judge on the Provincial Court of New Brunswick in 2008, and eventually became a chief judge. [52] She is the daughter of Guy A. Richard, who served as Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench of New Brunswick. [53] [54] He has an adult stepson. [54]

Cancer treatment

In December 2017, he announced that he had been diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and would begin chemotherapy immediately while continuing to serve in his parliamentary roles. [54] However, following a period of remission, his cancer took a turn for the worse. On April 26, 2019, LeBlanc announced he would be stepping back from cabinet as he sought treatment. [55]

In September 2019, LeBlanc underwent a stem cell transplant at Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital in Montréal, Québec to cure his non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, an extremely rare form of cancer. Following initial chemotherapy treatments at the CHU Dr. Georges L. Dumont Hospital in Moncton, New Brunswick, his doctors referred him to specialists at Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital due to the severity and aggressiveness of his cancer. He spent 56 nights, spanning most of the 2019 federal election campaign, in an isolation room at Maisonneuve-Rosemont. [56]

He was sworn in as President of the Queen’s Privy Council in November 2019, two weeks after being discharged from the hospital, and returned to the House of Commons in late January 2020.

LeBlanc has talked publicly about his experience with cancer and his stem cell transplant. After the regular two-years non-contact time between donor and patient, in September 2022, he met with his stem cell donor, German national Jonathan Kehl. [57] The meeting between the two was the subject of significant attention in Canadian media. LeBlanc also travelled to Germany to visit Kehl’s family in May 2023.

Symbolism
The use of white recalls the LeBlanc family name, while the pile refers to the Memramcook Valley, where Roméo LeBlanc was born, and the dolphins evoke the Rivière Dauphin (now Annapolis River), where LeBlanc's ancestors settled in the mid 17th century, as well as Roméo LeBlanc's maritime heritage and his service as the minister of fisheries. The star is a symbol long used by the Acadians, as are the fleurs de lys representative of LeBlanc's roots in that community, and the royal crown represents Roméo LeBlanc's appointment as the representative of the Canadian sovereign. The eagle feathers, a symbols of peace, honour the Canadian First Nations, and the number represents Roméo LeBlanc's four children. More family links are depicted in the steam locomotive wheel –representing LeBlanc's father's service on the Canadian railways  –and the book evoking Roméo LeBlanc's training and work as a teacher. The compartment symbolises a multi-ethnic Canada between two seas, and recalls the Micmac origin of the word Memramcook, meaning multi-coloured landscape. [58]
