Dingwall also served on several cabinet committees, including the Treasury Board and Economic Development.
In 1996, Dingwall convinced the then prime minister of Canada to host the G7 Summit in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Leaders from the G7 convened in Halifax and Boris Yeltsin, the president of Russia was a special attendee at that session.
In 1996, Dingwall was appointed Minister of Health.

He was subsequently honoured by the Canadian Cancer Society and the World Health Organization.
Dingwall ran for re-election in 1997 in the newly created riding of Bras d'Or, losing by over 1,000 votes to Michelle Dockrill of the NDP.

On February 27, 2003, the Government of Canada appointed Dingwall to the position of president and chief executive officer of the Royal Canadian Mint.
His leadership led that organization to increase profitability and posting its first surplus in several years.
In the fall of 2005, Dingwall came under scrutiny for having allegedly made excessive expense claims while he was president of the Royal Canadian Mint.
In the midst of these allegations, Dingwall resigned from the Mint on September 28, 2005.
When questioned while giving testimony before Parliament as to why he felt he should receive a severance package after the voluntary resignation, he remarked "I'm entitled to my entitlements."
The statement would be used by the Conservatives in a television advertisement during the 2006 federal election that featured that part of Dingwall's testimony.
On leaving the Royal Canadian Mint, Dingwall called for an independent audit which was completed by PricewaterhouseCoopers who found "the expenses fell within the guidelines".
A second independent review by the law firm of Osler, Hoskin and Harcourt found that the Mint's process for monitoring expenses were stricter than those of most private corporations.
On or about February 4, 2006, retired Superior Court Justice George Adams found that the Government of Canada essentially forced Dingwall out when he released his findings in a binding arbitration ruling.
