'''John Paul Manley''' (born January 5, 1950) is a Canadian lawyer, businessman, and politician who served as the eighth [[deputy prime minister of Canada]] from 2002 to 2003.  He was [[Liberal Party of Canada|Liberal]] Member of Parliament for [[Ottawa South]] from [[1988 Canadian federal election|1988]] to [[2004 Canadian federal election|2004]]. 

As Foreign Minister during the [[September 11 attacks]], Manley acted swiftly and proactively to address U.S. security while maintaining economic ties between the U.S. and Canada.
He chaired a special cabinet committee on security, and he was responsible for the ''[[Smart Border Declaration]]''.<ref name=Brister/>
For this work, Manley was named ''[[Canadian Newsmaker of the Year|Canada's Newsmaker of the Year]]'' by ''[[Time (magazine)|Time magazine]]'' in 2001.<ref name=Handelman/> 

Although a prominent [[Liberal Party of Canada|Liberal]], Manley was appointed by [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservative]] Prime Minister [[Stephen Harper]] in 2007 to head an independent, non-partisan panel reviewing Canada's mission and future role in [[Afghanistan]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ctvnews.ca/manley-to-head-canada-s-afghan-mission-review-1.259917|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121013183718/http://www.ctvnews.ca/manley-to-head-canada-s-afghan-mission-review-1.259917|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 13, 2012|title=Manley to head Afghanistan review|publisher=CTV News|date=October 12, 2007|access-date=17 May 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/just-the-right-job-for-john-manley/article20402991/ | title=Just the right job for John Manley | date=12 October 2007 | work=The Globe and Mail }}</ref>
Most of the recommendations of the ''Independent Panel on Canada's Future Role in Afghanistan'' (the "[[Manley report]]") were accepted, including an extension of the mission beyond February 2009 while calling for more soldiers and equipment.<ref name=Farr>{{cite web | title=John Manley: Canadian politician | first=David | last=Farr | url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/John-Manley | publisher=Britannica | date=1 January 2025 }}</ref>

He serves on the advisory board of the [[Leaders' Debates Commission]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://debates-debats.ca/en|title =Leaders' Debates Commission|last=Government of Canada|author-link=Government of Canada|date= April 2019|access-date=July 9, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://ipolitics.ca/2019/03/22/ex-politicians-leslie-manley-grey-to-sit-on-debates-commission-advisory-board |title=Ex-politicians Leslie, Manley, Grey to sit on debates' commission advisory board |last=Vigliotti |first=Marco |date=March 22, 2019|publisher=[[CBC News]]|access-date=July 9, 2019}}</ref>

==Early life and education==
Manley was born in [[Ottawa]], Ontario, and attended [[Bell High School (Ottawa)|Bell High School]]. He received a [[Bachelor of Arts|BA]] from [[Carleton University]] in 1971 and an [[Bachelor of Laws|LL.B.]] from the [[University of Ottawa]] in 1976.<ref name=Handelman/>  He also studied at the [[University of Lausanne]].  Manley was called to the Ontario bar in 1978.<ref name=BJ/>

After law school Manley clerked under [[Bora Laskin]], the [[Chief Justice of Canada]]. He joined the Ottawa firm Perley, Robertson, Panet, Hill and McDougall, specializing in tax law.<ref name=Handelman/>

==Cabinet career==
John Manley was first elected as a [[Member of Parliament (Canada)|Member of Parliament]] in the [[1988 Canadian federal election|1988 election]]. When the Liberals came to power under [[Jean Chrétien]] following the [[1993 Canadian federal election|1993 election]] he became [[Minister of Industry (Canada)|Minister of Industry]]. During his time in Industry, Manley was a staunch supporter of Canada-based research and development, and also of increased technology use in public schools.<ref name=Sallot/> 
In particular, he felt that the so-called "wired classroom" would help to equalize the gap between urban and smaller, rural schools. These initiatives were partially aimed at combating the "[[brain drain]]", and Manley himself stated that "Canada needs to pursue policies that will make it a magnet for brains, attracting them from elsewhere and retaining the ones we have."<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://archive.today/20120801132503/http://www.canoe.ca/CNEWSNewsmakers/001124_manley-can.html Canoe.ca article]}}</ref>
As Industry Minister, in January 2000 Manley proposed a multimillion dollar rescue package for cash-strapped Canadian [[National Hockey League]] teams, but withdrew the proposal within 48 hours following criticism that there were better uses for public funds.<ref name=Macleans>[http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=M1ARTM0012078 The Canadian Encyclopedia] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930061517/http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=M1ARTM0012078 |date=September 30, 2007 | | title=Ottawa Bails Out of NHL Deal }}</ref><ref name=Sallot>{{cite news | title=Bright, bookish and, um, a geek | first=Jeff | last=Sallot | date=3 January 2001 | work=The Globe and Mail | url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/bright-bookish-and-um-a-geek/article4143280/ }}</ref>

Manley was appointed [[Minister of Foreign Affairs (Canada)|Minister of Foreign Affairs]] in 2000.  He was responsible for the establishment of the ''[[Smart Border Declaration]]'', a proactive strategy to address Canada-U.S. security issues following the [[September 11 attacks]] in 2001.<ref name=Brister/>{{rp|87}}
Manley's approach addressed American security concerns without severing economic ties, which not only averted economic disaster for Canada, but also helped the U.S. since closure of the border would have magnified the negative impact of the [[September 11 attacks|9/11 attacks]].<ref name=Brister>{{cite web | first=Bernard James | last=Brister | title=The Same Yet Different: Continuity and Change in the Canada-United States Post-9/11 Security Relationship | date=2012 | publisher=Canadian Defence Academy Press | url= https://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2023/mdn-dnd/D2-292-1-2012-eng.pdf}}</ref>{{rp|87-88}}  

In October 2001, Manley was named chairman of a special cabinet committee on security that revamped immigration rules, antiterrorism laws, regulations on arrest and detention, and border procedures.<ref name=Brister/>  Manley's assertive responses helped to keep the "hugely complex relationship with the U.S. on an even keel" as Washington dealt with terrorist threats.<ref name=Handelman>{{cite news | first=Stephen | last=Handelman | work=Time International (Canada Edition) | title=Border Guardian: Canada's Newsmaker | date=31 December 2001 | page=64 }}</ref> 
Manley had good working relationships with U.S. Secretary of State [[Colin Powell]] and U.S. Homeland Security chief [[Tom Ridge]], and the director of Toronto's ''Canadian Institute of Strategic Studies'' said "Under Manley, the government of Canada talks to Washington, not at it."<ref name=Handelman/>
For his work to swiftly and dramatically "orchestrate a transformative moment in Canada's history", Manley was named ''[[Canadian Newsmaker of the Year (Time)|Canada's Newsmaker of the Year]]'' by ''[[Time (magazine)|Time magazine]]'' in 2001.<ref name=Handelman/> 

In January 2002 Manley was appointed [[Deputy Prime Minister of Canada|Deputy Prime Minister]] and given special responsibility for security in response to [[September 11 attacks|9/11]].<ref>{{cite news | work=Los Angeles Times | first=William | last=Orme | date=16 January 2002 | title=Chretien Shuffles Canadian Cabinet | url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-jan-16-mn-22979-story.html
}}</ref>
In May 2002, Chrétien appointed Manley as [[Minister of Finance (Canada)|Minister of Finance]], following the departure of [[Paul Martin]]. Manley's 2003 federal budget laid out billions of dollars in new spending, primarily for health-care, child-care, and [[First Nations in Canada|First Nations]]. It also introduced new accountability features to help limit federal waste.<ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/budget2003/analysis.html CBC Budget analysis]</ref>

==Liberal leadership==
===2003 Liberal leadership election===
{{main|2003 Liberal Party of Canada leadership election}}
When Jean Chrétien announced his decision to retire, Manley was seen by many as the prime minister's logical successor given his roles as deputy prime minister and as chair of the important economic and social policy cabinet committees.<ref name=Farr/>
However, Manley withdrew from the leadership race and endorsed [[Paul Martin]] in July 2003 when it became clear that Martin had an overwhelming lead.<ref name=Farr/><ref>{{cite news | work=CBC News | title=Manley quits Liberal leadership rate | date=22 July 2003 | url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manley-quits-liberal-leadership-race-1.402158 }}</ref>
Martin offered Manley a role as [[Ambassador (diplomacy)|Ambassador]] to the United States, which Manley declined for personal and family reasons.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1071528787654_66937987?s_name=&no_ads=|title=Manley declines Martin offer of Washington post|publisher=[[CTV News]]|date=December 16, 2003|access-date=17 May 2018|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080517052310/http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1071528787654_66937987?s_name=&no_ads=|archive-date=May 17, 2008}}</ref> 
Later in 2003, Manley announced his retirement from politics.<ref name=Farr/>

===2006 and 2009 Liberal leadership elections===
On January 25, 2006 Manley sent a letter to supporters indicating that he was not going to contest the [[2006 Liberal Party of Canada leadership election|Liberal leadership]] after the resignation of [[Paul Martin]].
Martin had resigned after the [[2006 Canadian federal election|January 23, 2006 election]] resulted in a Conservative Party minority in parliament.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060219172103/http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20060125/after_elxn_manley_0601225/20060125?hub=TopStories CTV- January 25, 2006]</ref>

Manley was mentioned again as a possible contender for the [[2009 Liberal Party of Canada leadership election|leadership of the Liberal Party]] after [[Stéphane Dion]]'s resignation following the October 14, [[2008 Canadian federal election|2008 election]] that resulted in a larger minority Conservative government.  
On November 4, 2008 Manley announced that he would not be a candidate.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manley-won-t-run-in-liberal-leadership-race-1.773186 | publisher=CBC News | title=Manley won't run in Liberal leadership race | date=November 4, 2008}}</ref>

==Membership on commissions and inquiries==
===Report on Canada's Mission in Afghanistan===
On 12 October 2007, Manley was appointed by Conservative Prime Minister [[Stephen Harper]] to head an independent, non-partisan panel reviewing Canada's mission and future role in [[Afghanistan]], a position he had discussed with Liberal leader [[Stéphane Dion]] beforehand. Both Dion and Liberal Foreign Affairs critic [[Bob Rae]] had encouraging words for the panel.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ctvnews.ca/manley-to-head-canada-s-afghan-mission-review-1.259917|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121013183718/http://www.ctvnews.ca/manley-to-head-canada-s-afghan-mission-review-1.259917|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 13, 2012|title=Manley to head Afghanistan review|publisher=CTV News|date=October 12, 2007|access-date=17 May 2018}}</ref>
Manley's appointment was described as a "masterstroke" in a ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'' editorial, given Manley's evident qualifications as a former foreign minister and former chairman of a cabinet committee on public security and anti-terrorism established after [[9/11]].
Also, by appointing a prominent Liberal, bipartisan support could be built for what was originally a Liberal-mandated mission.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/just-the-right-job-for-john-manley/article20402991/ | title=Just the right job for John Manley | date=12 October 2007 | work=The Globe and Mail }}</ref>

The ''Independent Panel on Canada's Future Role in Afghanistan'' reported on January 28, 2008, in what became known as the [[Manley report]].  It argued for an indefinite extension of the mission beyond February 2009, but also pointed to logistical and equipment shortfalls, communications challenges with telling the mission's story to Canadians, and a coming manpower strength shortage. The report's recommendations were accepted by the House when the Liberals backed them along with the Conservatives.<ref>{{cite news | work=The Globe and Mail | first=Jeffrey | last=Simpson | title=Between the lines of the Manley report | date=29 January 2008 | url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/between-the-lines-of-the-manley-report/article18442909/ }}</ref><ref name=Britannica>{{cite web | url= https://www.britannica.com/biography/John-Manley

Manley was co-chair of the ''Independent Task Force on the Future of North America'', a project of the U.S.-based [[Council on Foreign Relations]]. In 2005, the Task Force released a report that advocated a North American "economic and security community" by 2010, the boundaries of which would be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter.
The three-country economic area would resemble the [[European Community]], a predecessor of the [[European Union]].<ref name=CFR>{{cite web | url= https://cdn.cfr.org/sites/default/files/report_pdf/PDF%20posted%20on%20web--English.pdf?_gl=1*sqbi6a*_gcl_au*MTM5NTY0OTcwOC4xNzM4MzY5MTQ3*_ga*MTc4MDM2MDA5OS4xNzM4MzY5MTQ3*_ga_24W5E70YKH*MTczODM2OTE0Ny4xLjEuMTczODM2OTI3MS4yMC4wLjA. | title=Building a North American Community | publisher=Council on Foreign Relations | date=May 2005 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=Press Releases: Building a North American Community | author=Council on Foreign Relations | date= May 2005 | url= https://www.cfr.org/report/building-north-american-community }}</ref><ref>[http://www.cyberpresse.ca/actualites/article/article_complet.php?path=/actualites/article/24/1,63,0,012005,896165.php Cyberpresse article] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050323155121/http://www.cyberpresse.ca/actualites/article/article_complet.php?path=%2Factualites%2Farticle%2F24%2F1%2C63%2C0%2C012005%2C896165.php |date=March 23, 2005 }}</ref>

==Political ideology==
''[[Globe and Mail]]'' political columnist [[Lawrence Martin (journalist)|Lawrence Martin]] said Manley is "a broad-perspective pragmatist, who, while spending a lot of time with the Bay Street boys (you do that as an industry minister), has never been captive to them."<ref name=Martin>{{cite news | title=A pawn of big business?

In an interview for the British think-tank [[The Bruges Group]], Manley said of then-Prime Minister [[Justin Trudeau]]'s economic spending priorities: "I see commitments on spending programmes that will not necessarily add to Canada's productivity or support economic growth – so I'm one that's a bit worried about the trajectory that we are on".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.brugesgroup.com/blog/in-conversation-with-john-manley-oc-pc|title=In Conversation with John Manley OC PC - Former Deputy PM of Canada|last=Lim|first=Christopher|date=September 6, 2021|work=The Bruges Group|access-date=September 7, 2021}}</ref>
