Dominic LeBlanc

Dominic A. LeBlanc is a Canadian lawyer and politician who serves as President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada, Minister responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade, Intergovernmental Affairs and One Canadian Economy, and Minister of Internal Trade. A member of the Liberal Party, LeBlanc is the member of Parliament (MP) for Beauséjour since 2000. He has held several Cabinet portfolios throughout his tenure in government as LeBlanc is often described as a political "fixer," frequently appointed to departments in need of stabilization or facing controversy. His retention and promotion under both Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney have been noted as evidence of his cross-factional credibility and role as a steadying force in Cabinet.
