Timeline

1950

A. Anne McLellan (born August 31, 1950) is a Canadian politician and academic who served as the ninth deputy prime minister of Canada from 2003 to 2006.

She was a cabinet minister in the Liberal governments of Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin, and represented Edmonton in the House of Commons of Canada.

She also held the positions of solicitor general, minister of health, and minister of justice of Canada.

McLellan earned bachelor's degrees in Arts and Law from Halifax's Dalhousie University.

1975

She then earned a Master of Laws from King's College London in the United Kingdom in 1975.

1980

She became a professor of law, first at the University of New Brunswick and then, beginning in 1980, at the University of Alberta Faculty of Law where she served at various times as associate dean and dean.

She has also served on the board of directors of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.

1993

Her first foray into politics was as the Liberal candidate for the riding of Edmonton Northwest in the 1993 general election, when she won her seat by 12 votes.

She quickly became a rising star in the Liberal Party, being one of four Liberals elected in Alberta, and was named to cabinet as Minister of Natural Resources.

McLellan has the prenominal "the Honourable" and the postnominal "PC" for life by virtue of being made a member of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada on November 4, 1993.

1997

She was re-elected by narrow margins in the new riding of Edmonton West in the 1997 and 2000 elections, despite the Liberals' general unpopularity in Alberta.

Her frequent narrow escapes gave her the nickname "Landslide Annie" in Canadian political circles.

2001

McLellan served as Minister of Justice from 1997 to 2002, with responsibility for implementing new anti-terror and security laws following the September 11, 2001, attacks in the United States, and the implementation of the Canadian gun registry.

2002

She served as Minister of Health from 2002 to 2003.

Though she supported Paul Martin for the Liberal leadership, she was kept in Jean Chrétien's cabinet, in part because Chrétien wanted an Albertan in his cabinet for the sake of regional representation.

2003

On being sworn-in as Prime Minister on December 12, 2003, Paul Martin named her his deputy prime minister.

McLellan was also named minister for the newly created Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.

As Deputy Prime Minister, she was also chair of the Cabinet Operations Committee.

McLellan's appointment was one of a number of women given senior positions in the Paul Martin government.

2004

During the 2004 federal election, she was re-elected by 721 votes, or just over 1% of the vote, defeating Laurie Hawn of the Conservative Party of Canada in the riding of Edmonton Centre.

2006

In the 2006 federal election, McLellan was defeated by Hawn 45.01% to 38.36%.

McLellan is one of the few Canadian parliamentarians to have spent her entire career as a cabinet member.

This is due to the fact that McLellan was elected to parliament as a Liberal from Alberta, a historically weak province for the party.

Serving as the only Liberal MP from the province, her inclusion as a cabinet member, and later elevation as Deputy Prime Minister, was tantamount to ensuring regional representation.

On May 12, 2006, McLellan was appointed Distinguished Scholar in Residence to the University of Alberta at the Canadian university's Institute for United States Policy Studies.

On June 27, 2006, she also became counsel to the Edmonton-based law firm Bennett Jones LLP.

She also became a director on the boards of Nexen Inc., Agrium Inc. and Cameco Corporation.

McClellan is currently Chair of the Board of Directors of Pearson College UWC in Victoria, B.C. Pearson is one of 18 global United World Colleges in the world.

2009

On July 1, 2009, McLellan was appointed an officer of the Order of Canada for her service as a politician and law professor, and for her contributions as a community volunteer.

2013

On May 9, 2013, she was appointed to the Alberta Order of Excellence for her achievements in politics, law and advanced education.

2015

In 2015, she was appointed Chancellor of Dalhousie University.

2016

In 2016, McLellan was controversially appointed as the chair of the Task Force on Marijuana Legalization and Regulation, created to provide recommendations on the design of a new system to legalize, strictly regulate and restrict recreational use of marijuana, despite her position within Bennett Jones.

The process included an opportunity for the public to provide their own input.

On December 13, 2016, the panel's report was released to the news media; its recommendations were not binding on the legislators.

2017

On November 28, 2017, Pearson College UWC named her the chair of its board of directors.

2019

On March 18, 2019, in the context of the SNC-Lavalin affair Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, announced that McLellan would serve as a special advisor on whether a single minister should continue to hold the positions of Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada.

She was also asked to analyze the operating policies and practices across the Cabinet, and the role of public servants and political staff in their interactions with the minister of justice and attorney general of Canada.

She was asked to provide independent recommendations (sic) to the Prime Minister by June 30, 2019.

On October 29, 2019, following the 2019 Canadian federal election, in which the Liberal Party did not win any seats in Alberta and Saskatchewan, the Prime Minister's Office announced that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had hired McLellan as an adviser.

The Office said McLellan would assist the prime minister as he formed a government against the backdrop of a growing sentiment of western alienation.
