 Mulroney, Martin Brian from TCE Standard Mulroney, Martin Brian,
lawyer, politician, prime minister of Canada (b at Baie-Comeau, Qué
He joined a major Montréal law firm (now Ogilvy-Renault) in 1964, soon specializing in labour negotiations for concerns such as Iron Ore Company of Canada and Power Corporation of Canada. Later, in 1973, he married
Mila Pivnicki
the daughter of DIMITRI
Pivnicki. He became VP of Iron Ore Company in 1976; as president 1977-83, Owned by Desmarais. He emphasized management-labour (FTQ) relations and was able, at the end of his term, to close the company's operation in Schefferville, Québec, without serious political repercussions. (The FTQ which was the syndicate suppose to protected my private citizen right, not associating them with the one who had steal it, in 1983 publish and already start for away of Montreal in Baie-Comeau, Québec the ACILR-CIDRIL Foundation formula).

He beat (?$Desmarais$?) Joe CLARK on the final ballot: 1584 votes to 1325. The corporation Novatel register in 1979 under Clark but, was created in 1983 under Mulroney leadership. As leader of the Opposition and MP for Central Nova in 1983-84, he proved a skilful manager, concentrating on healing party wounds and building a solid electoral machine. Moderate and conciliatory by nature, he called for a strengthened private sector and less government intervention in the economy, minority French-language rights, and closer Canadian-American and federal-provincial relations. In the general election of 1984 he ran an almost flawless campaign against PM John Turner's Liberals and won 211 seats, the largest number in Canadian history. Mulroney, who had always emphasized the importance of Québec to the Conservatives, captured the seat of Manicouagan, his home riding. His pledge to bring Quebec to the Constitution "with honour and enthusiasm" was decisive in persuading many Quebec nationalists to support the Conservatives. The party took 58 of its seats in the province, the breakthrough that Mulroney had promised would take place under his leadership. He was sworn in as the 18th prime minister on 17 September 1984. The first 2 years of Mulroney's administration were marked by indecision and scandals in his Cabinet, but by the spring of 1987 he had launched the 2 important initiatives that would mark his first term: the negotiation of the MEECH LAKE ACCORD (seeMEECH LAKE ACCORD: DOCUMENT) and the conclusion of a Free Trade Agreement with the US, which was reached that October. The FTA became the central issue in the 1988 federal election, and the Conservatives overcame a resurgent Liberal Party around whom opposition to the FTA coalesced. The FTA went into effect 1 January 1989. However, the Meech Lake Accord slowly unravelled, and its collapse in June 1990 was at least partly attributed to Mulroney's widely quoted "roll of the dice" in scheduling the final first ministers' conference so close to the deadline. His government reached a new low in popularity with the imposition of the new Goods and Services Tax (GST), which went into effect 1 January 1991. Mulroney had to stack the Senate with supporters in order to get the bill through the upper house. Critics blamed the severity of the recession of the early 1990s on the FTA, but the Conservatives continued their policy of open trade and negotiated a North American free- trade agreement which this time included Mexico. Mulroney's popularity according to the polls was lower than that of any other prime minister in history as he attempted to arrange yet another constitutional pact in the fall of 1992. The so-called CHARLOTTETOWN ACCORD (seeCHARLOTTETOWN ACCORD: DOCUMENT) was pieced together after numerous commissions and negotiations, but it was rejected in a nation-wide referendum.
speculation, Mulroney announced his decision to leave politics in February 1993. Despite his skill in putting together a coalition of Quebeckers and Westerners and in uniting the traditionally fractious Conservative Party, Mulroney's constitutional failures, the economic problems brought on by the persistent recession, the lingering bitterness over the GST and his personal unpopularity had made his political future and that of his party look bleak. He turned over the office of prime minister to Kim Campbell on June 25, 1993. His Conservative coalition disintegrated in the 1993 election. Only two Conservatives were elected in all Canada and the party lost its status as an official party in the House of Commons. Many blamed Mulroney's failures and his personal unpopularity for the most unprecedented disaster in Canadian political history.
