Peter Van Loan PC (born April 18, 1963) is a former Canadian politician who served as the Member of Parliament for the electoral district of York—Simcoe from 2004 to 2018. He was the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons from 2007 to 2008 and again from 2011 to 2015.
Biography
Born in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Van Loan is of Estonian heritage on his maternal side. His mother and grandparents fled Estonia during World War II and immigrated to Canada.
Van Loan was educated at the University of Toronto and York University and holds a bachelor's degree, a Masters in International Relations and an additional master's degree in geography. Van Loan graduated from York University's Osgoode Hall Law School and was admitted to the Bar of Ontario in 1989.
Prior to his election to public office, Van Loan was a partner and Chair of the Planning and Development Law Group at the law firm of Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP in Toronto, Ontario. Van Loan was also an Adjunct Professor of Planning at the University of Toronto. He served as president of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario during Mike Harris' term of office and then of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada for a brief period. He resigned from the latter post in 2000 after a series of disagreements with its leader, Joe Clark.
Van Loan was a key figure in the unsuccessful attempt to convince Premier of New Brunswick Bernard Lord to run for the leadership of the federal Progressive Conservatives in late 2002. He was a key organizer in the "Yes" Campaign, led by Tory Leader Peter MacKay, to ratify the merger of the Progressive Conservative Party and the Canadian Alliance into the Conservative Party of Canada. Van Loan then again attempted to recruit Lord to run for the leadership of the new party, and again was unsuccessful.
In an article from January 24, 2008, Van Loan was classified as one of "Harper's 12", the twelve most influential people in Ottawa, by Maclean's Magazine. Other cabinet ministers included were Jim Prentice, John Baird, and Jim Flaherty.
On October 30, 2008, Jay Hill replaced Van Loan as Government House Leader and Steven John Fletcher took over the Minister for Democratic Reform post. Van Loan became the Minister for Public Safety, as Stockwell Day became the Minister of International Trade. On these changes Don Martin wrote: "The House of Commons might become a slightly friendlier place now that Peter Van Loan has lost the job of Question Period cheap shot specialist to become Public Safety Minister, a good move that seems to back Harper’s pledge to play nice with others during the upcoming session."[1]
On January 19, 2010, Prime Minister Stephen Harper designated Van Loan as the next Minister of International Trade.
On December 5, 2012, on the floor of the House of Commons Van Loan was involved in an altercation with NDP Leader Tom Mulcair. Van Loan crossed the aisle and used an inappropriate word during the confrontation. He was restrained by Defence Minister Peter MacKay.[2]
Van Loan was one of thirteen Canadians banned from travelling to Russia under retaliatory sanctions imposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in March 2014.[3] In response to the ban, Van Loan said that the ban was "not of serious consequence" and that he would "not be losing sleep over being on the list."[4]
On July 29, 2018, Van Loan announced that he would be retiring from politics. He retired from the House of Commons on September 30.[5] In the by-election, his seat was held for the Conservatives by candidate Scot Davidson.

| Alma mater | University of Ottawa |
Hugh Segal OC OOnt CD (born October 13, 1950) is a Canadian political strategist, author, commentator, academic, and former senator. He served as chief of staff to Ontario Premier Bill Davis and later to Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Segal resigned from the Senate of Canada on June 15, 2014, as a result of his appointment as master (later principal) of Massey College in Toronto.[1]
Life and career
Politics and public policy
Segal was inspired by a visit from Prime Minister John Diefenbaker in 1962 to his school, United Talmud Torah Academy in Montreal.[2] Segal went on to graduate from the University of Ottawa and was an aide to federal Progressive Conservative Leader of the Opposition Robert Stanfield in the early 1970s, while still a university student.
At the age of 21, he was an unsuccessful Progressive Conservative candidate in Ottawa Centre for the House of Commons of Canada in the 1972 general election. He was defeated again in 1974.
As a member of the Big Blue Machine, Segal was a senior aide to Ontario Progressive Conservative Premier Bill Davis in the 1970s and 1980s, and he was named Deputy Minister at age 29. From 1992 to 1993, he was Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.
Segal finished second to Joe Clark after the first ballot of the 1998 Progressive Conservative leadership election, but he chose to withdraw and support Clark (the eventual winner) in the second ballot runoff vote against third-place finisher David Orchard. He had also briefly considered running for the PC leadership in 1993.
Senate
In 2005, Segal was appointed to the Senate of Canada by Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin. He was the chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee until he "reluctantly" agreed to resign in 2007 at the request of the Conservative government, which reportedly wished to appoint a more ideologically conservative senator to the role after the committee issued a report critical of the Conservative government's foreign aid policy. Segal insisted, however, that the move was an administrative one.[3] Segal later served as Chair of the Special Senate Committee on Anti-Terrorism.
In December 2013, he announced his intention to resign from the Senate in June 2014, twelve years before he would reach the mandatory retirement age of 75, to accept an academic appointment as Master of Massey College in Toronto.
Commonwealth
On July 7, 2010, he was appointed to the Commonwealth Eminent Persons Group (EPG) by Secretary General Kamalesh Sharma. The group's mandate is to set out decisive recommendations on how to strengthen the Commonwealth and fulfill its potential in the 21st century. In December 2011 the federal government appointed him special envoy to the Commonwealth with the task of convincing individual countries to sign on to the EPG's 106 recommendations.[4]
Political views
Segal espouses a moderate brand of conservatism that has little in common with British Thatcherism or US neoconservatism. He is a Red Tory in the tradition of Benjamin Disraeli, Sir John A. Macdonald, John Diefenbaker and his mentors Robert Stanfield and Bill Davis. This political philosophy stresses the common good and promotes social harmony between classes. It is often associated with One Nation Conservatism. The focus is on order, good government and mutual responsibility. Individual rights and personal freedom are not considered absolute. In his book Beyond Greed: A Traditional Conservative Confronts Neo-Conservative Excess (Toronto: Stoddart, 1997), Segal sought to distinguish what he called "traditional" conservatives from neo-conservatives, notably those in the United States.
In an earlier book, his 1996 memoir No Surrender (page 225), Segal wrote: "Progressive Conservatives cannot embrace the nihilistic defeatism that masquerades as a neo-conservative polemic in support of individual freedom and disengagement." He went on to deplore "American fast-food conservatism." In a speech to the National Press Club on June 21, 1995, Segal referred to the "selfish and directionless nature of the American revolution -- which was more about self-interest, mercantile opportunity, and who collected what tax than it was about tolerance or freedom."
Segal opposed on civil liberties grounds the imposition of the War Measures Act by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in the October Crisis of 1970. He favours strengthening Canada's military and encouraging investment, while maintaining a strong social safety net. His 1998 proposal to reduce Canada's Goods and Services Tax from 7% to 6% (and then 5%) was adopted by Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party in 2005. During his leadership campaign he stated his support for capital punishment. Segal's most recent book is The Long Road Back: The Conservative Journey, 1993-2006 (Toronto: HarperCollins, 2006).
On 6 June 2012, Segal had a comment published in the National Post[5] outlining his views on Basic Income. In December 2012, Segal published an essay[6] in the Literary Review of Canada promoting the benefits of a guaranteed annual income.
Journalism
In the 1980s and 1990s, Segal became a television pundit and newspaper columnist. In the private sector, Segal has been an executive in the advertising, brewing, and financial services industries.
Publishing
Segal's book Two Freedoms: Canada's Global Future was published by Dundurn Press in April 2016.[7]
Published by On Point Press, an imprint of UBC Press on October 15 of 2019, Segal released his second book, Bootstraps Need Boots: One Tory’s Lonely Fight to End Poverty in Canada.
Academic work
Segal lives in Kingston, Ontario, and until 2014 was a faculty member at Queen's University's School of Policy Studies, and has also taught at the university's school of business. He served as president of the Institute for Research on Public Policy, a Montreal think tank, from 1999 to 2006. He sits on the board of directors and is a distinguished fellow at the Canadian Defence and Foreign Affairs Institute.[8] He is also a member of the Trilateral Commission.[9]
Segal was appointed Master of Massey College in the University of Toronto (effective at the end of June 2014) and retired from the Senate in order to accept the position.[10] He retired from the Massey College position effective June 30, 2019, five years into his seven-year term, and was succeeded by Nathalie Des Rosiers.[11]
Honours
- In 2003, Segal was made a Member of the Order of Canada which was later promoted to the grade of Officer.[12] Segal holds an honorary doctorate degree from the Royal Military College of Canada, University of Ottawa and Queen's University.
- Hugh Segal was named honorary captain in the Royal Canadian Navy in 2004. [1]
- He was made chair of the NATO Association of Canada in 2013.[13]
- In 2013, Hugh Segal was honored with a Peace Patron Award by The Mosaic Institute, an NGO based in Toronto working to promote pluralism reducing conflict in Canada and abroad.[14]
- In 2016, he was made a member of the Order of Ontario.[15]
- In 2017 He was awarded the Canadian Forces Decoration (CD) for 12 years service with the Royal Canadian Navy.
Family
He is the brother of corporate executive and former university administrator Brian Segal, and of artist Seymour Segal. He is married to Donna Armstrong Segal, a former Ontario Ministry of Health executive. They have one daughter, Jacqueline.

>> January 23, 2023. Case #541. Caraquet.
>>
>> Mr. President, dear Commissioners, and dear fellow citizens,
>>
>> I cannot accept the 8.9% increase in electricity rates. Even if Mr.
>> Higgs is right
>> that NB Power's huge debt needs to be brought under control is not the
>> right way to go about it. Here are some reasons why.
>>
>> Start with the NB Power Board of Directors. Why do we have Board
>> members who are non-residents of NB? Why the president of advice is an
>> American?
>>
>> Then there are the salaries of more than $100,000 among our employees.
>> It must be remembered that the upper third of the income of the
>> population is $70,000 and more per year. It means that the lower
>> two-thirds are much less. It's like NB Power is a cow
>> fat as we say in English. According to Mr. David Amos, NB Power's
>> accounting is not
>> independently verified. He is a whistleblower regarding fraudulent
>> activities
>> of the KPMJ company.
>>
>> Follows the field of research and development. NB Power, i.e. we, have
>> no the financial means to do research. Mini-nuclear power plants are a
>> beautiful example of research well beyond our means. Hydro-Québec has
>> a real laboratory, this is where people who want to do research can
>> go. Otherwise we will reliving laughable experiences as we have seen
>> with the company JOY Entertainment. As for the development, it comes
>> from the workers on the ground. For example, an editor line can see,
>> after years of experience, that a piece of equipment wears in a way
>> particular. He can realize that by moving it a little, his lifespan
>> increases. this is good, but the ego of the superiors and the
>> administration comes into play and often the idea is lost.
>>
>> Then there is the entrepreneurial spirit in big projects that does not
>> go with our ability to
>> to pay. Why renovate the Mactaquac dam when we have 5 billion in debt?
>> Why
>> we maintain the Point Lepreau Generating Station? For Americans?
>>
>> Our natural environment was my primary reason for becoming a case
>> worker. #375 and #452 even if it is very difficult for me to speak
>> publicly. In particular, the transcript of January 22, 2020 of
>> Instance #452, pages 1120 and following, should be reread.
>> Interesting, there is three years already… Electromagnetic fields are
>> creating a smog that is becoming more and more denser with serious
>> effects on everything around us, including ourselves. I you refers to
>> the documents of Dr. Héroux and Dr. Miller presented during the two
>> proceedings mentioned. With that, I would like to introduce you to
>> what an RF wave meter measures. In this room. It quantifies the level
>> of electromagnetic smog. The scale used by the device is according to
>> the recent studies which are carried out independently of the
>> industry. Not according to studies used by Health Canada.
>>
>> The transition from an analog to a digital system results in a huge
>> loss energy on several levels. Looking up a word in a dictionary does
>> not have the same expense
>> energy than looking for it on the internet. Also, the digital system
>> continues to evolve and to each time you have to buy other devices.

>> Le 23 janvier, 2023. Instance #541. Caraquet.
>>
>> M. le Président, chers commissaires, et chers concitoyens,
>>
>> Je ne peux accepter l’augmentation de 8,9% des tarifs d’électricité.
>> Même si M. Higgs a raison qu’il faut contrôler l’énorme dette
>> d’Énergie NB, ce n’est pas la bonne façon de s’y prendre. Voici
>> quelques raisons pourquoi.
>>
>> Il faut commencer par le conseil d’administration d’Énergie NB.
>> Pourquoi avons-nous des membres du conseil d’administration qui sont
>> non résidents du N.-B.? Pourquoi le président du conseil est un
>> Américain?
>>
>> Ensuite il y a les salaires de plus de 100,000$ chez nos employés. Il
>> faut se rappeler que le tiers supérieur des revenus de la population
>> est 70,000$ et plus par année. Ça veut dire que les deux tiers
>> inférieurs sont beaucoup moins. C’est à croire qu’Énergie NB est une
>> vache grasse comme on dit en anglais. Selon M. David Amos, la
>> comptabilité d’Énergie NB n’est pas vérifiée de façon indépendante. Il
>> est un lanceur d’alertes concernant les activités frauduleuses de la
>> compagnie KPMJ.
>>
>> Suit le domaine de la recherche et développement. Énergie NB,
>> c’est-à-dire nous, n’avons pas les moyens financiers pour faire de la
>> recherche. Les mini-centrales nucléaires sont un bel exemple de
>> recherches bien au-dessus de nos moyens. Hydro-Québec a un vrai
>> laboratoire, c’est là que les gens qui veulent faire de la recherche
>> peuvent aller. Autrement nous allons revivre des expériences risibles
>> tel que nous l’avons vu avec la compagnie JOY Entertainment. Quant au
>> développement, il provient des travailleurs sur le terrain. Par
>> exemple, un monteur de ligne peut voir, après des années
>> d’expériences, qu’une pièce d’équipement use d’une façon particulière.
>> Il peut réaliser qu’en la déplaçant un peu, sa durée de vie augmente.
>> Ceci est bien, mais l’égo des supérieurs et de l’administration rentre
>> en jeu et souvent l’idée est perdue.
>>
>> Ensuite il y a l’esprit entrepreneurial dans de gros projets qui ne va
>> pas avec notre capacité de payer. Pourquoi rénover le barrage de
>> Mactaquac lorsqu’on a 5 milliards de dettes? Pourquoi qu’on entretient
>> la centrale de Pointe Lepreau? Pour les Américains?
>>
>> Notre environnement naturel a été ma raison première pour devenir
>> intervenant aux l’instances #375 et #452 même s’il m’est très
>> difficile de parler publiquement. En particulier, la transcription du
>> 22 janvier 2020 de l’Instance #452, pages 1120 et suivantes, sont à
>> relire. Intéressant, il y a trois ans passés déjà… Les champs
>> électromagnétiques créent un smog qui devient de plus en plus dense
>> avec des effets graves sur tout ce qui nous entoure y compris nous
>> même. Je vous réfère aux documents de Dr Héroux et Dr Miller présentés
>> lors des deux instances mentionnés.
>> Sur ce, j’aimerais vous présenter ce qu’un compteur des ondes des
>> radiofréquences mesure dans cette salle. Il quantifie le niveau du
>> smog électromagnétique. L’échelle utilisée par l’appareil est selon
>> les études récentes qui sont réalisées de façon indépendante de
>> l’industrie. Pas selon les études qu’utilise Santé Canada.
>>
>> Le passage d’un système analogique à un système numérique entraîne une
>> énorme perte d’énergie à plusieurs niveaux. Chercher un mot dans un
>> dictionnaire n’a pas la même dépense d’énergie que de le chercher sur
>> l’internet. Aussi, le système numérique continue d’évoluer et à chaque
>> fois il faut acheter d’autres appareils. Parfois c’est l’appareil même
>> qui est défectueux! On n’a qu’à penser à vos téléphones cellulaires et
>> aux compteurs intelligents. Il faut se rappeler que les compteurs
>> mécaniques durent plus de trente ans… Dr Tatoutchoup a bien expliqué
>> pourquoi les compteurs intelligents ne sont pas une bonne décision
>> financière pour le N.-B. Il faut voir ou revoir son rapport présenté
>> lors de l’instance #452. Ce virage numérique est une illusion: une
>> fausse route. D’ailleurs, se rappeler ce que M. Bill Morneau, l’ancien
>> ministre des finances fédérales, a dit lorsqu’il parlait de cette
>> transformation énergétique. Il a dit que cette technologie nous
>> permettra d’épargner de l’argent pour nous permettre d’acheter plus de
>> « stuff »: Une belle mentalité environnementaliste.
>>
>> Beaucoup trop d’importance est accordée aux véhicules électriques.
>> Peut-être qu’un jour ce sera la réalité mais pas dans un avenir
>> proche. Donc pourquoi essayer de prétendre que ça va changer notre
>> réalité maintenant? Entre temps, laissons donc aux autres de faire des
>> dépenses exorbitantes parfaitement inutiles et investissons lorsque la
>> technologie sera à point.
>>
>> L’humanité croît de façon exponentielle présentement, mais notre
>> planète est grosse comme ça! Essayons donc de comprendre l’importance
>> d’accepter notre réalité et de cesser de croire que nos besoins
>> peuvent être satisfaits sans aucunes limites. Malheureusement, notre
>> système décisionnel est pris par l’industrie. Un bel exemple est que
>> M. Amos est pratiquement le seul, si-non le seul, intervenant dans
>> cette instance qui ne représente aucune compagnie.
>>
>> Je sais que je ne vous apprends rien, mais il fallait vous le dire
>> pour que ce soit enregistré. Merci d’avoir pris le temps d’écouter.
>>
>> Cordialement vôtre,
>>
>> Roger Richard
