'''Tony Peter Clement''' {{post-nominals|country=CAN|PC}} (''[[Birth name|né]]'' '''Payani'''; born January 27, 1961) is a [[Canadians|Canadian]] former politician in the federal and Ontario governments. He was [[House of Commons of Canada|Member of Parliament]] for [[Parry Sound—Muskoka (federal electoral district)|Parry Sound-Muskoka]] and a federal cabinet minister in the [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservative Party]] under prime minister [[Stephen Harper]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ourcommons.ca/Parliamentarians/en/members/Tony-Clement(15975)|title=THE HONOURABLE TONY CLEMENT - OVERVIEW - HOUSE OF COMMONS OF CANADA |website=House of Commons Toronto|access-date=2016-10-14 |quote=Political Affiliation:Conservative}}</ref> Before entering federal politics, Clement served as an Ontario [[Member of Provincial Parliament (Ontario)|Member of Provincial Parliament]] for [[Brampton South (provincial electoral district)|Brampton South]] then [[Brampton West—Mississauga (provincial electoral district)|Brampton West—Mississauga]] and a cabinet minister in the [[Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario]], including as [[Minister of Health and Long-Term Care (Ontario)|Minister of Health and Long-Term Care]] under premiers [[Mike Harris]] and [[Ernie Eves]].

He was a candidate for the leadership of the [[Conservative Party of Canada]] after its formation from the merger of the [[Progressive Conservative Party of Canada|Progressive Conservative]] and [[Canadian Alliance]] parties in 2003. He lost to [[Stephen Harper]]. Clement won the seat of [[Parry Sound—Muskoka (federal electoral district)|Parry Sound-Muskoka]] in the [[39th Canadian federal election|2006 federal election]], defeating incumbent [[Liberal Party of Canada|Liberal]] cabinet minister [[Andy Mitchell (politician)|Andy Mitchell]]. The Conservatives formed government in that election and Clement was appointed [[Minister of Health (Canada)|Minister of Health]] and Minister for [[FedNor]]. He also later served as [[President of the Treasury Board (Canada)|President of the Treasury Board]]. Clement was re-elected despite the Conservative defeat in the [[2015 Canadian federal election|2015 election]].

As a student at the [[University of Toronto]], Clement was elected twice, both as an undergraduate and as a law student, to the university's Governing Council. He was also president of the campus Progressive Conservatives.<ref name=TorontoStar2002-1-4>{{Cite news |first1=Richard |last1=Brennan |first2=Michael |last2=Stuparyk |title=Conservative to his roots; Even as a teenager, Tony Clement was consumed by politics |publisher=Toronto Star |date=January 4, 2002 |page=J03}}</ref> He first attracted the attention of the media in 1986, when he created a new society to invite the South African [[ambassador (diplomacy)|ambassador]] to Canada, [[Glenn Babb]], to speak after the International Law Society had withdrawn its invitation, deeming it too controversial because of the issue of [[apartheid]]. Clement argued in favour of inviting Babb on the grounds of [[free speech]]. An attempt by four law professors for a court injunction barring "any representative of the Republic of South Africa to expound, explain or otherwise to solicit public support for his Government's policy of apartheid" was rejected by the court.<ref>{{Cite news |author=Thomas Claridge |title=Court rejects ban on South Africa ambassador's speech |publisher=[[The Globe and Mail]] |date=January 16, 1986 |page=A20}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://canlii.ca/t/g1h62|title=Bancroft et al. v. Governing Council of the University of Toronto|website=CanLII}}</ref>

A graduate of the [[University of Toronto]], Clement completed degrees in [[political science]] in 1983 and [[law]] in 1986. He was called to the Ontario Bar in 1988.

Clement is married to Lynne Golding, a partner and Chair of the Health Law Practice at the international law firm, [[Fasken Martineau DuMoulin]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Fasken Martineau – People — Lynne Golding |url=http://www.fasken.com/lynne-golding/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151102221342/http://www.fasken.com/lynne-golding/ |archive-date=November 2, 2015 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Clement became president of the [[Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario]] in 1990 and was a close ally of then-party leader [[Mike Harris]].  He ran, unsuccessfully, for [[Metro Toronto Council]] in 1994, losing to future mayor [[David Miller (mayor of Toronto)|David Miller]] in the ward of Parkdale-High Park. He served as Harris's assistant principal secretary from 1992 to 1995 and played a leading role in drafting policy directives for the [[Common Sense Revolution]].

In November 2019, Clement started the "And Another Thing" podcast with Jodie Jenkins which features a weekly interview with a public figure, and the discussion between Clement and Jenkins.

==In provincial politics==
Clement was elected to the [[Legislative Assembly of Ontario]] in the [[1995 Ontario general election|provincial election of 1995]], defeating incumbent [[Ontario Liberal Party|Liberal]] [[Bob Callahan (politician)|Bob Callahan]] by over 6,000 votes in the [[electoral district (Canada)|riding]] of [[Brampton South (provincial electoral district)|Brampton South]]. After serving as a [[Parliamentary Assistant]] for two years, he was appointed [[Ministry of Transportation (Ontario)|Minister of Transportation]] on October 10, 1997. He also represented the Progressive Conservative government on a variety of televised discussion panels, gaining the reputation of a rising star in the party.

Clement was returned in the [[1999 Ontario general election|provincial election of 1999]] in the new riding of [[Brampton West—Mississauga (provincial electoral district)|Brampton West—Mississauga]], defeating Liberal candidate [[Vic Dhillon]] by over 8,000 votes. He was promoted to [[Ministry of the Environment (Ontario)|Minister of the Environment]] on June 17, 1999, and served in this capacity until May 3, 2000. In this role, he implemented the program known as [[Ontario's Drive Clean]], which mandated periodic emissions tests on vehicles in southern Ontario.

Clement was appointed [[Ontario Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing|Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing]] on October 25, 1999, and held this position until February 8, 2001.

On February 8, 2001, Clement was appointed [[Minister of Health and Long-Term Care (Ontario)|Minister of Health and Long-Term Care]]. He initiated primary care reform, oversaw the implementation of Telehealth Ontario (a toll-free health information line staffed by registered nurses) and expanded Ontario's hospitals system. Clement also entered into a public-private partnership for a hospital redevelopment in [[Brampton, Ontario|Brampton]].

Clement ran for leadership in the [[2002 Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario leadership election|2002 Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leadership election]] and finished third on the first ballot. Clement then placed his support behind victorious candidate [[Ernie Eves]] on the second ballot. When Eves became Premier, he kept Clement in the Health portfolio.

Clement was especially prominent when Toronto suffered an outbreak of [[SARS]] in the summer of 2003, travelling to Geneva in a successful bid to urge the [[World Health Organization]] to lift a travel ban to Canada's largest city.<ref>{{cite web |title=Toronto Clear of SARS Created Travel Advisory |url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0304/29/lol.08.html |date=April 29, 2003 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151019052313/http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0304/29/lol.08.html |archive-date=October 19, 2015 |publisher=[[CNN]] |url-status=live}}</ref>

The Eves government was defeated in the [[2003 Ontario general election|2003 provincial election]], and Clement was defeated by [[Vic Dhillon]] by about 2,500 votes in a rematch of 1999. Clement afterwards worked as a counsel for Bennett Jones LLP. He also was a small business owner and a visiting professor at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law.

==Federal politics==
Clement first became prominent in federal politics in 2000, sitting on the steering committee for the [[Unite the Right (Canada)|United Alternative]]. This initiative was meant to provide a framework for the [[Reform Party of Canada|Reform Party]] and [[Progressive Conservative Party of Canada|Progressive Conservative Party]] to unite under a single banner. It did not accomplish this end, but nonetheless led to the formation of the [[Canadian Alliance]] later that year; Clement served as the Alliance's founding president.

Soon after the 2003 provincial election, Clement declared himself a candidate for the leadership of the new [[Conservative Party of Canada]]. He placed third in the [[2004 Conservative Party of Canada leadership election|party's leadership vote]], while [[Stephen Harper]] emerged as the winner.<ref name="cpac092613">{{cite news |title=2004 Conservative Leadership Convention |url=https://www.cpac.ca/en/2004-conservative-leadership/# |access-date=December 30, 2023 |work=CPAC |date=September 26, 2013 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304090846/https://www.cpac.ca/en/2004-conservative-leadership/ |archivedate=March 4, 2016}}</ref>

He then sought election as the Conservative Party candidate in [[Brampton West (federal electoral district)|Brampton West]] in the [[2004 Canadian federal election|2004 federal election]], but lost to [[Liberal Party of Canada|Liberal]] incumbent [[Colleen Beaumier]] by about 3,500 votes.

For his second attempt to win a seat in the [[House of Commons of Canada]], in the [[2006 Canadian federal election|2006 campaign]], he switched to the [[Parry Sound—Muskoka (federal electoral district)|Parry Sound-Muskoka]] riding.  On election night, he was declared winner by 21 votes.  Upon conclusion of the judicial recount, Clement was found to have defeated Mitchell by 28 votes: 18,513-18,485. On February 6, 2006, Clement was appointed as Minister of Health by Prime Minister [[Stephen Harper]].

Clement pledged to extend an existing measure to require disclosure of meetings by only registered lobbyists with lower-level government officials who have decision-making power.<ref>{{cite web |last=Sommers |first=Tyler |title=Clement's Lobbying Act proposed changes allow secret, unethical lobbying |url=https://rabble.ca/blogs/bloggers/democracy-watch/2012/09/clements-lobbying-act-proposed-changes-allow-secret-unethical |date=September 19, 2012 |publisher=[[Rabble.ca]] |access-date=September 20, 2012}}</ref>

===Minister of Health===
Some of Clement's initiatives included announcing a national strategy on autism, working towards establishing Canada's first Patient Wait Times Guarantees, and investing in faster, more effective and safer health information systems across Canada for Canadians.

One of Clement's first initiatives as Minister of Health was establishing the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer, an independent [[not-for-profit organization]] committed to combating this disease and improve patient quality of life.<ref>{{cite web |title=Canadian Partnership Against Cancer |url=https://pm.gc.ca/eng/media.asp?id=4026 |publisher=[[Office of the Prime Minister (Canada)|Office of the Prime Minister]] |date=March 10, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151102225705/http://pm.gc.ca/eng/news/2011/03/10/canadian-partnership-against-cancer |archive-date=November 2, 2015 |access-date=February 14, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 2006, Clement launched the Public Health Scholarship and Capacity Building Initiative — on-going scholarships supporting public health training and positions across Canada.<ref>{{cite web |title=Public Health Scholarship and Capacity Building Initiative - Workforce Development Products and Tools Contribution Program - {{resize|Grant and Contribution Funding Opportunities for 2011-2012}} |url=http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/fo-fc/phscbi-ibercdsp-eng.php |publisher=[[Public Health Agency of Canada]] |date=October 11, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151019052313/http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/fo-fc/phscbi-ibercdsp-eng.php |archive-date=October 19, 2015 |access-date=February 14, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref>  Furthermore, in 2006, he announced the $1-billion compensation package for pre-1986/post-1990 forgotten victims of the tainted blood scandal, who were neglected in the 1998 settlement agreement.<ref>{{cite web |title=Key Characteristics of the pre-1986/post-1990 Hepatitis C Final Settlement Agreement |url=http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hc-ps/dc-ma/hepc-2007-key-principales-eng.php |date=June 2007 |publisher=[[Health Canada]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100725141457/http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hc-ps/dc-ma/hepc-2007-key-principales-eng.php |archive-date=July 25, 2010 |access-date=February 14, 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Clement also played a key role in launching the Chemical Management Plan, which the Conservative government claimed "made Canada a world leader in chemical management".  "We have established clear priorities and now we are taking action to protect the health of Canadians," said Clement.<ref>{{cite web |title=Canada's New Government improves protection against hazardous chemicals |url=http://www.pm.gc.ca/eng/news/2006/12/08/canadas-new-government-improves-protection-against-hazardous-chemicals |date=December 8, 2006 |publisher=[[Office of the Prime Minister (Canada)|Office of the Prime Minister]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150908183639/http://www.pm.gc.ca/eng/news/2006/12/08/canadas-new-government-improves-protection-against-hazardous-chemicals |archive-date=September 8, 2015 |access-date=February 14, 2012 |url-status=live}}</ref>  Further, the government claimed "Canada was the first nation in the world to take action to prohibit the importation, sale and advertising of baby bottles that contain BPA".<ref>{{cite web|title=Canada's Chemicals Management Plan |url=http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ahc-asc/media/nr-cp/_2011/2011-128bk-eng.php |publisher=[[Health Canada]] |access-date=February 14, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130111065628/http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ahc-asc/media/nr-cp/_2011/2011-128bk-eng.php |archive-date=January 11, 2013 }}</ref>

On September 29, 2007, the CBC reported Clement's new strategy to combat the growing drug abuse problem in Canada.  "The party is over" for illicit drug users, he announced, with the new policy aiming towards widespread arrest of drug users, in contrast to the old strategy of targeting dealers.  Over 130 physicians and scientists signed a petition condemning the Conservative government's "potentially deadly" misrepresentation of the positive evidence for harm reduction programs. Clement stated that governments in Canada have been sending the wrong message about drug use, and he wanted to clear up the mixed messages going out on illicit drugs.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Tories plan get-tough national drug strategy |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/tories-plan-get-tough-national-drug-strategy-1.668030 |publisher=The Canadian Press |date=September 29, 2007 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012050503/http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2007/09/29/drug-strategy.html |archive-date=October 12, 2007 }}</ref>

Also in 2007, Clement launched the new [[Canada's Food Guide]], the first update in 15 years incorporating the most up-to-date information based on current nutritional science and a new interactive web section.

===Minister of Industry===
[[File:Tony Clement Luminato 2010.jpg|thumb|right|Tony Clement speaking at [[Luminato]] 2010 in [[Toronto]].]]
On October 30, 2008, Clement was sworn into the office of [[Minister of Industry|Industry Minister]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Economy is priority, PM says after shuffling cabinet |url=https://www.ctvnews.ca/economy-is-job-number-one-for-new-cabinet-pm-1.338135 |date=October 30, 2008 |publisher=[[CTV News]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121018082238/http://www.ctvnews.ca/economy-is-job-number-one-for-new-cabinet-pm-1.338135 |archive-date=October 18, 2012 |access-date=October 30, 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref> This included the appointment to the [[Office of the Registrar General of Canada]].

Shortly after becoming Industry Minister, Clement launched the Knowledge Infrastructure Program, a two-year $2-billion measure that supported infrastructure enhancement at post-secondary institutions across Canada.<ref>{{cite web |title=Minister of Industry Launches $2-Billion Knowledge Infrastructure Program |url=http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/696.nsf/eng/h_00017.html |date=March 9, 2009 |publisher=[[Industry Canada]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100123220738/http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/696.nsf/eng/h_00017.html |archive-date=January 23, 2010 |access-date=February 14, 2012 |url-status=live}}</ref>

In conjunction with the US and Ontario governments, Clement worked closely on the restructuring of GM and Chrysler.  Following the successful restructuring, he stated that the companies "will now be in a position to operate a sustainable and viable business that Lost 86% production, innovation and jobs in Canada."  Furthermore, he said, "This is news for 32,000 Canadian auto workers, the Canadian auto parts supply chain and for Canadian consumers.  Moving forward, the Government of Canada will continue to work toward removing our country's auto industry, while exercising rigorous oversight of taxpayer money."<ref>{{cite web |title=Government of Canada Congratulates General Motors on Successful Court-Supervised Restructuring |url=http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?m=/index&nid=466419 |date=July 10, 2009 |publisher=[[Industry Canada]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151102233244/http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?m=%2Findex&nid=466419 |archive-date=November 2, 2015 |access-date=February 14, 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In the summer of 2010, Clement introduced changes to the 2011 Census. On this issue, he said, "The government will retain the mandatory short form that will collect basic demographic information.  To meet the need for additional information, and to respect the privacy wishes of Canadians, the government has introduced the voluntary National Household Survey (NHS)."<ref>{{cite web |title=Statement on 2011 Census |url=http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=547529 |date=July 13, 2010 |publisher=[[Industry Canada]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151102234529/http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=547529 |archive-date=November 2, 2015 |access-date=February 14, 2012 |url-status=live}}</ref> The change sparked significant criticism, including the resignation of Statistics Canada's Chief Statistician (see [[Canada 2011 Census#Voluntary long-form survey controversy|Voluntary long-form survey controversy]]). Other changes included the addition of questions about the languages spoken by Canadians.<ref>{{cite web |title=Statement by the Minister of Industry, Tony Clement, Regarding Changes to the 2011 Census of population |url=http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?m=/index&nid=552779 |date=August 11, 2010 |publisher=[[Industry Canada]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111203142339/http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/ic1.nsf/eng/05762.html |archive-date=December 3, 2011 |access-date=November 4, 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

On November 14, 2010, Australia's BHP Billiton withdrew its hostile $39-billion offer for Saskatchewan's Potash Corporation.  At a news conference following the withdrawal, Clement explained that of the six Investment Canada Act guidelines that determine if an investment has a "net benefit", he said BHP's bid failed to meet three of them. Clement said the Government felt the takeover would not have a beneficial effect on Canada's competitiveness in world markets.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Bouw |first1=Brenda |last2=Kiladze |first2=Tim |last3=Chase |first3=Steven |title=BHP withdraws Potash bid |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/potash/bhp-withdraws-potash-bid/article1798568/ |publisher=[[The Globe and Mail]] |date=November 14, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110120195127/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/potash/bhp-withdraws-potash-bid/article1798568/ |archive-date=January 20, 2011 |access-date=February 14, 2012 |url-status=live}}</ref>

In January 2011, Clement spoke out against a ruling of the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]] (CRTC) which allowed usage-based billing for wholesale clients and smaller internet service providers. Citing concerns about how the change could adversely affect consumers, small businesses and entrepreneurs, he warned that if they did not revise the decision, the government would intervene. The CRTC initiated its own review of the ruling, and reversed its decision.<ref>{{cite web |title= CRTC offers compromise on usage-based billing |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/crtc-offers-compromise-on-usage-based-billing-1.995787 |publisher=[[CBC News]] |date=November 15, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151019052313/http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/crtc-offers-compromise-on-usage-based-billing-1.995787 |archive-date=October 19, 2015 |access-date=November 4, 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref>

In the lead-up to the 2010 G8 summit, Clement was involved in directing $50 million of border security money for largely unrelated projects in his own riding, a practice commonly known as "[[pork barrel]]ling". Auditor-General Sheila Fraser issued a report criticizing the Minister for breaking the rules and "complained that there was no paperwork to determine how the hundreds of proposals" for spending were narrowed to the 32 projects that were approved. Clement later admitted that this process was not subject to the oversight that it should have been.<ref>{{cite news |last=Galloway |first=Gloria |title='Bucked stopped with me' over $50-million spent on G8 summit, Baird says |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/buck-stopped-with-me-over-50-million-spent-on-g8-summit-baird-says/article4251806/ |date=November 2, 2011 |publisher=[[The Globe and Mail]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140828230547/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/buck-stopped-with-me-over-50-million-spent-on-g8-summit-baird-says/article4251806/ |archive-date=August 28, 2014 |access-date=October 6, 2012 |url-status=live}}</ref>

===President of the Treasury Board===
[[File:Tony Clement, President of the Treasury Board @ Simon Fraser University.jpg|thumb|Tony Clement, President of the Treasury Board at [[Simon Fraser University]]]]
Shortly after the May 2, 2011 election, Clement was appointed as the President of the [[Treasury Board]], a position of wide-ranging authority and oversight. Consistent with the Conservative Party of Canada's election platform, Clement has been tasked with leading a government-wide spending review, with the goal of finding ways to contain government spending.

On November 2, 2013, Clement backed a motion at the Conservative Party national convention that advocated clawing back public-sector pay and benefits. At the convention he vowed, as the minister responsible for negotiations with the civil service, to "alter the dynamics of collective bargaining as it has been done in this country over the last few decades".<ref>{{cite news |last=Wingrove |first=Josh |title=Union battles loom after Tories push to overhaul labour laws |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/financial-transparency-motion-approved-at-tory-convention-in-wake-of-senate-scandal/article15232241/ |date=November 2, 2013 |work=[[The Globe and Mail]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131107143825/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/try-it-now/?articleId=15232241 |archive-date=November 7, 2013 |access-date=November 4, 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref>

On December 22, 2014, Clement was quoted by the Canadian Press as saying that government deliberately withholds public data because people using the information might "create havoc" by altering the contents.<ref>{{cite web |last=Bronskill |first=Jim |title=Fear of falsification prevents release of some electronic data: minister |url=http://www.nationalnewswatch.com/2014/12/22/fear-of-falsification-prevents-release-of-some-electronic-data-minister/ |publisher=National Newswatch |agency=[[The Canadian Press]] |date=December 22, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141222234645/http://www.nationalnewswatch.com/2014/12/22/fear-of-falsification-prevents-release-of-some-electronic-data-minister/ |archive-date=December 22, 2014}}</ref>

===Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario===
On February 6, 2006, in addition to being appointed Minister of Health, Clement was also appointed Minister responsible for FedNor (Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario).  Clement held the FedNor portfolio until July 2013.  FedNor invests in projects that support [[community economic development]], business growth and competitiveness, and innovation; FedNor's goal is to encourage economic growth, diversification, job creation and self-reliant communities in northern Ontario.<ref>{{cite web |title=Northern Ontario Development Program |url=http://fednor.gc.ca/eic/site/fednor-fednor.nsf/eng/h_fn02348.html |publisher=[[FedNor]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110825155650/http://fednor.gc.ca/eic/site/fednor-fednor.nsf/eng/h_fn02348.html |archive-date=August 25, 2011 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Between February 2006 and January 2012, FedNor approved $398 million in support of 1,742 projects, which leveraged an additional $614 million from other sources.  During this same period, FedNor also approved $11 million towards 364 youth internships, with close to two-thirds of these interns finding employment following their internship.  Of the total funding from February 2006 to January 2012, $44 million went toward 300 tourism-related projects, which included over 70 youth internships.

FedNor projects include some of the following:

Red Lake	- Unorganized Kenora District	- To build on existing efforts to extend Union Gas' natural gas pipeline to the Goldcorp mines, businesses, and residences of the Red Lake community.  $2.7 million<ref>{{cite web |title=Harper Government supports community economic and business development in the Red Lake region |url=http://fednor.gc.ca/eic/site/fednor-fednor.nsf/eng/fn03741.html |date=June 22, 2012 |publisher=[[FedNor]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150105151053/http://fednor.gc.ca/eic/site/fednor-fednor.nsf/eng/fn03741.html |archive-date=January 5, 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Dryden     - The Corporation of The City of Dryden     - To expand Dryden's industrial park and the Norwill subdivision (acquisition and clearing of land, construction of an access road, and expansion of municipal services).	$1,470,000

Eagle Lake     - Eagle Lake First Nation     - To prepare the First Nation for the development of one of two proposed wood processing plants for the Two Feathers Forest Products Initiative.	Project cancelled on January 27, 2011,

Parry Sound	- The Corporation of the Town of Parry Sound	- To expand municipal services to accommodate the announced $6.2-million construction of an expanded Parry Sound Canadore College campus.	$1,290,000

FedNor has provided funding to encourage tourism in northern Ontario by:
*Increasing the awareness of this region as a tourism destination;
*Encouraging product development and investments in northern Ontario's tourism assets and products by supporting new and expanding festivals and events, and developing niche tourism products (e.g., authentic Aboriginal, francophone, motorcycling touring routes);
*Fostering an adequate supply of skills and labour to enhance visitor experiences.

===Opposition===
Clement retained his seat in the 2015 general election that defeated the Conservative government. Moving to the Opposition benches, he was appointed the Opposition's critic for foreign affairs by interim Leader of the Opposition [[Rona Ambrose]]. He stepped down from the [[Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet of the 42nd Parliament of Canada|Shadow Cabinet]] on July 12, 2016, in order to launch his campaign for the [[2017 Conservative Party of Canada leadership election|leadership of the Conservative Party]]. He ended his campaign on October 12, 2016, due to not meeting fundraising goals he had set for his campaign.<ref>John Paul Tasker, [https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tony-clement-dropping-out-1.3801305 Tony Clement drops out of Conservative leadership race], CBC News, October 12, 2017. Accessed November 8, 2018.</ref>

====Sexting scandal====
In early November 2018, Clement resigned his House of Commons committee assignments and his role as Conservative Shadow Minister for Justice. The resignation was filed after he admitted having shared "sexually explicit images and a video of [himself]" with an individual or party that he "believed was a consenting female recipient" but was actually a person that Clement claimed had targeted him for [[extortion]]. The [[RCMP]] were investigating the situation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://globalnews.ca/news/4637232/tony-clement-sexually-explicity-images-video-resigns/|title=Tony Clement resigning critic role after admitting he sent 'sexually explicit' photos, video to extortionist |website=Global News |access-date=2017-11-06}}</ref> After additional allegations of improper behaviour were made against Clement on November 7, party leader [[Andrew Scheer]] requested that he also resign from the Conservative caucus. Clement did so and continued to sit as an independent MP.<ref name="out of caucus" /> In January 2019, two men from the Ivory Coast were arrested in connection with the attempted extortion of Clement.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2019/01/19/two-ivory-coast-men-arrested-in-clement-sexting-scandal-report.html|title=Two Ivory Coast men arrested in Clement sexting scandal: report &#124; The Star|website=thestar.com|date=19 January 2019}}</ref> On April 2, Clement announced that he would not be standing as a candidate in the [[2019 Canadian federal election|next federal election]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Tony Clement confirms he's quitting federal politics |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tony-clement-sexting-scandal-conservative-1.5081312 |access-date=2019-04-03 |publisher=[[CBC News]] |date=2019-04-02}}</ref>

Clement has stated that there are circumstances where the [[death penalty]] is warranted.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.muskokaregion.com/news-story/3574972-tony-clement-apos-s-comments-rekindle-death-penalty-debate/|title=Tony Clement's comments rekindle death penalty debate|date=March 19, 2008|website=MuskokaRegion.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.stephentaylor.ca/tag/tony-clement/page/2/ | title = Interview with Industry Minister Tony Clement | last = Taylor | first = Stephen | date = 15 November 2008 | publisher = Stephen Taylor | access-date = 27 March 2021}}</ref>

Clement, as Conservative Public Safety Critic, stated in February 2017 that the [[RCMP]] needed to "enforce the law" to stop the influx of [[Refugees of the Syrian Civil War|Syrian Refugees]] attempting to cross the [[Canada–United States border]] in the wake of US President [[Donald Trump]]'s [[Executive Order 13769]] to ban citizens of certain majority Muslim countries from entering the United States. When a CBC Radio reporter asked Clement in a telephone interview to specify the measures the RCMP must take to do so, he refused to answer and hung up.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Shingler |first1=Benjamin |title=Tony Clement hangs up on CBC Daybreak after exchange over asylum seekers |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/montreal-daybreak-tony-clement-1.3991965 |access-date=November 13, 2018 |work=CBC News |date=February 21, 2017}}</ref> Clement stated in an interview with ''[[Power Play (2009 TV program)|Power Play]]'' on [[CTV News Channel (Canada)|CTV News Channel]] that the Conservatives "are calling for two things in particular. One, more resources, more money and funding, and human resources for the border agents and for the RCMP to deal with this much higher influx... Secondly, we want the federal government to develop a plan. What is the plan that is going to be employed or deployed to ensure that the rule of law continues in this country, that the laws are obeyed, that we don't have illegal crossings?"<ref>{{cite news |last1=Payton |first1=Laura |title=Tony Clement defends position after hanging up on radio interview |url=https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/tony-clement-defends-position-after-hanging-up-on-radio-interview/ |access-date=November 13, 2018 |work=CTV News |date=February 21, 2017 |language=en-CA}}</ref>
