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. [16] 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. [17]

On December 8, 2008, LeBlanc announced he was dropping out of the leadership race because he felt a leader needed to be put 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. [18] [19]

2011–2015

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. [20] LeBlanc did not say whether he was considering a bid but hoped to be part of the "rebuilding and renewal" of the party. [21] 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. [22] On October 5, 2012, he announced he would not stand for the leadership and instead endorsed Justin Trudeau. [23]

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

Trudeau government

42nd Canadian Parliament

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. [24] 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]

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. [5]

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. [26]

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. [27]

On April 26, 2019, LeBlanc announced he would be stepping back from cabinet as he sought treatment for cancer. [28]

43rd Canadian Parliament

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. [29]

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. [30]

44th Canadian Parliament

In November 2024, LeBlanc was brought along with Trudeau to meet with president-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. 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. [31] LeBlanc was considered as a possible candidate in the 2025 Liberal Party of Canada leadership election, upon the resignation of Trudeau. [32] [33] He declined to run in the election, citing the need to focus on potential tariffs from the incoming second Trump administration. [34]

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. [45]
