Fred Mifflin

Fred Mifflin

Fred J. Mifflin, PC , CD (born February 6 1938) is a retired Rear Admiral in the Canadian Forces and a former politician.

After retiring from 32 years of service in the Royal Canadian Navy, Mifflin entered politics and was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1988 election. Mifflin became the Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) for the Newfoundland and Labrador riding of Bonavista-Trinity-Conception.

After the Liberals came to power under the leadership of Jean Chrétien in the 1993 election, Mifflin was appointed parliamentary secretary to the ministers of national defence and veterans affairs on the same day his first granddaughter was born.

In 1996, he was appointed to the Canadian Cabinet as Minister of Fisheries and Oceans. In a 1997 cabinet shuffle, he was appointed Minister of Veterans Affairs and Secretary of State for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency. Mifflin decided that he wasn't going to run in the next general election, and was dropped from Cabinet in August 1999. He did not run for re-election in the 2000 election.

He supported Stéphane Dion for the leadership of the Liberal Party. [ [http://stephanedion.ca/?q=en/News-061020Team Liberal Party of Canada ] ]
