He was the Conservative Party of Canada Member of the Parliament of Canada for the riding of Vaughan following a November 29, 2010 by-election, until his defeat in 2015.[2] On January 4, 2011, Fantino was named Minister of State for Seniors; on May 18, 2011, he became Associate Minister of National Defence; on July 4, 2012, he was named Minister for International Cooperation. Fantino served as the Minister of Veterans Affairs[3] from 2013 until 2015, when he was demoted to his earlier post of Associate Minister of National Defence following sustained criticism of his performance at Veterans Affairs.[4][5][6][7] He was defeated by Liberal candidate Francesco Sorbara in the 2015 election.
Prior to entering politics, Fantino was the Commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police from 2006 to 2010,[8][9][10] Toronto Chief of Police from 2000 to 2005, and Ontario's Commissioner of Emergency Management from 2005 until 2006, and also served as chief of police of London, Ontario, from 1991 to 1998, and of York Region from 1998 until 2000.
