1946

Gregory Samuel Sorbara (born September 4, 1946) is a former politician in Ontario, Canada.

Sorbara was born in Toronto, Ontario in 1946.

1967

In 1967 he joined the Company of Young Canadians in Vancouver, where he met his future partner, Kate Barlow.

Later, he completed his education at York University and Osgoode Hall Law School, and began to practise law.

His daughter Martina Sorbara is a singer-songwriter.

1985

He was a Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1985 to 1995, and again from 2001 to 2012 who represented ridings north of Toronto in the city of Vaughan.

Sorbara served as a cabinet minister in the governments of David Peterson and Dalton McGuinty.

In the 1985 provincial election Sorbara ran as the Liberal in the riding of York North, a suburban riding north of Toronto.

He defeated Progressive Conservative incumbent William Hodgson by 4,100 votes.

The Liberals under David Peterson were able to form a minority government after this election, and Sorbara was appointed Minister of Colleges and Universities and Minister of Skills Development on June 26, 1985.

1987

Sorbara was re-elected in the redistributed riding of York Centre in the 1987 provincial election.

On September 29, 1987, he became Minister of Labour with responsibility for Women's Issues.

1989

Following a cabinet shuffle in August 1989, he became Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations.

1990

In 1990 the Liberals were upset by the New Democratic Party in the election which followed, though Sorbara won in his riding.

1991

On November 14, 1991, Sorbara announced that he was joining the race to replace Peterson as leader of the party.

He stated, "We have to stop this province's slide into a low-wage, no-growth economy," and spoke of infrastructure investment.

During the convention which was held in Hamilton, Ontario on February 9, he finished third on the first ballot, and remained in this position until dropping from the race after the fourth ballot.

Sorbara subsequently refused to support either Murray Elston or Lyn McLeod (the eventual winner) on the fifth and final ballot.

1995

and did not seek re-election in 1995.

1996

Sorbara supported Dalton McGuinty's successful bid for the provincial party leadership at the 1996 leadership convention.

1999

He did not run in the 1999 provincial election, but was elected Party President over Alvin Curling in November 1999.

2001

He later won a 2001 by-election in the redistributed Greater Toronto Area riding of Vaughan—King—Aurora, defeating Progressive Conservative candidate Joyce Frustaglio by almost 10,000 votes.

2003

The Liberals won the 2003 election, and Sorbara was appointed Minister of Finance in the Ontario Cabinet on October 23, 2003.

Sorbara became involved in a conflict-of-interest controversy not long after his appointment.

In late 2003, the Ontario Securities Commission informed Sorbara's office that Royal Group Technologies would be announcing they were under investigation by the OSC.

As a former director of Royal Group, this placed Sorbara in a conflict of interest as he also oversaw the OSC.

Sorbara could not consult the Premier concerning the conflict of interest as he was restricted by the province's Securities Act from informing anyone else of the impending announcement by the company.

Royal Group did not announce the investigation for almost two months.

2004

There were calls for Sorbara to resign after the controversy became public knowledge, but he was cleared of any wrongdoing by the provincial integrity commissioner in August 2004.

2005

He resigned from cabinet October 11, 2005, following a police investigation involving his family's real estate development firm and was reinstated on May 23, 2006 after a judge ruled that there was no cause for including Sorbara's name on a search warrant.

On October 11, 2005, the RCMP raided the Sorbara Group offices as part of the Royal Group Technologies investigation.

The police warrant stated that there were reasonable grounds to believe Sorbara and other directors of Royal Group defrauded the company and shareholders when they bought land in Brampton, that was owned by a subsidiary of the Sorbara Group.

Sorbara initially resisted opposition calls for him to step down, but later resigned as Minister of Finance the same day.

2007

Sorbara chaired the party's successful 2007 election campaign but announced on October 26, 2007 that he was leaving the cabinet to spend more time with his family but would continue as a backbench MPP.
