Bardish Chagger Biography
Chagger’s parents immigrated to Waterloo from Punjab, India in the 1970s. Her family is Sikh. Her father, Gurminder “Gogi” Chagger, was active in Liberal Party politics and an admirer of Pierre Trudeau, and Chagger’s first involvement in politics came in the 1993 federal election as a 13-year-old volunteer for Andrew Telegdi’s successful campaign in Waterloo. She attended the University of Waterloo, with aspirations to become a nurse, but she subsequently became an executive assistant to Telegdi, who represented Waterloo in the House of Commons for the Liberals from 1993 to 2008.
Bardish Chagger PC MP (born April 6, 1980) is a Canadian politician who is the Member of Parliament for the riding of Waterloo. She has been appointed as Minister of Diversity and Inclusion and Youth by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on November 20, 2019. She formerly held the positions of Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister of Small Business and Tourism. Chagger was elected as a Liberal member of the House of Commons of Canada in the 2015 Canadian election.
Chagger graduated from the University of Waterloo with a bachelor’s degree in science. After Telegedi’s defeat in 2008, Chagger became a director of special events for the Kitchener-Waterloo Multicultural Centre.
Chagger volunteered for Justin Trudeau’s 2013 party leadership bid, and subsequently became the Liberal Party’s candidate in the newly reconstituted Waterloo riding. She took 49.7% of the vote and defeated two-term Conservative incumbent Peter Braid, who had earlier ousted her former employer Andrew Telegdi.
On November 4, 2015 Chagger was sworn in as Minister of Small Business and Tourism.
On August 19, 2016, Chagger was sworn in as Leader of the Government in the House of Commons replacing Dominic Leblanc in the position. She retained her responsibilities as Minister of Small Business and Tourism until the July 18, 2018 cabinet shuffle.
Opposition Members of Parliament were concerned with the reforms proposed in the discussion paper, in particular with proposals to implement legislative programming and the elimination or change of Friday sittings in the House of Commons. In late April 2017, Chagger sent a letter to her counterparts, then New Democratic Party House Leader Murray Rankin and Conservative House Leader Candice Bergen, to inform them that the government would be abandoning several of the key proposals that were part of the modernization paper, such as changes to the Friday sitting, legislative programming, and electronic voting. They would continue however with proposals that were explicitly part of the 2015 Liberal election platform, including the decision to have a Prime Minister’s Question Period, requiring the government to issue a report following the use of prorogation, and allowing the Speaker of the House of Commons to separate votes or committee studies on different parts of a bill that he or she deems to be omnibus.
On March 10, 2017, Chagger in her role as Government House Leader released a discussion paper titled Modernization of the Standing Orders of the House of Commons which sought to implement different ways that House of Commons procedure and practice could be improved to be more accountable, predictable and available to all Members of Parliament, and the public. The modernization paper suggested reforms to the House of Commons such as the implementation of electronic voting, the curtailment of Friday sittings, the reformation of Question Period, including a Prime Minister’s Question Period, changes to the process of prorogation, greater powers for the Speaker to separate votes and committee studies on omnibus bills and legislative programming.
As a result of the July 18, 2018 cabinet shuffle, Chagger’s responsibilities for Small Business were given to Mary Ng, and Mélanie Joly took on the responsibilities of Tourism.
