Prime Minister of Canada Lawyer Politician Businessman

Brian Mulroney was born on 20 March 1939 at Baie-Comeau, Quebec, son of Benedict Martin Mulroney and Irene O'Shea. He married Mila Pivnicki in 1973. He was educated at St. Francis Xavier University and at Laval University. He worked for the Montreal law firm of Ogilvy Renault 1964-1976. In 1974, he was appointed to the Cliche Royal Commission to study the Quebec construction industry and unions. In 1976 he was a candidate for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party, and was defeated by Joe Clark. In 1976 he was appointed Executive Vice-President of Iron Ore Company and in 1977 he was appointed President. He was elected leader of the P.C. Party on 11 June 1983.

Brian Mulroney was first elected to the House of Commons (Central Nova, N.S.) in a by-election on 29 August 1983. He was re-elected in the 1984 general election (Manicouagan, Qué.), where he led the P.C. Party to a majority of seats in the House of Commons. He was sworn in as Prime Minister on 17 September 1984. In the general election of 1988, he was again re-elected (Charlevoix, Qué.) and again led the P.C. Party to a majority of seats in the House of Commons. On 24 February 1993, he announced his forthcoming resignation as Prime Minister and leader of the P.C. Party.
