Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird will not seek re-election and will resign his position in the Harper cabinet this week, a source has told Postmedia News.
Baird, 45, was first elected to Parliament in 2006, representing Ottawa West-Nepean, and re-elected in 2008 and 2011.
Before being appointed foreign affairs minister in May 2011, he held a variety of high-profile roles in Stephen Harper’s Conservative government.
His first cabinet role was as President of the Treasury Board from February 2006 until January 2007, when he became environment minister. In October 2008, he became minister of transport, a role he had until August 2010 when he became Government House Leader.
Baird has also served as the member of Parliament responsible for the national capital region, including the National Capital Commission.
He entered federal office after more than a decade as the Ontario member of provincial parliament for Nepean-Carleton, serving in former premier Mike Harris’s cabinet.
Baird was first elected to Queen’s Park in 1995 at age 26.
