I wonder how a former MND could be useful to a big legal/ consulting firm? :sarcasm:
Peter MacKay Hired As Advisor At McInnes Cooper and Deloitte
HALIFAX — Fresh off an unsuccessful bid to become the next leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, Nova Scotia’s Peter MacKay has joined McInnes Cooper and Deloitte Canada as a strategic advisor.
The firms made the announcement in a joint press release on December 15.
At Deloitte, MacKay will advise on projects related to government and public service, focusing on “defense modernization, justice reform, infrastructure and economic development.”
McInnes Cooper says they will tap MacKay to “provide counsel to the firm’s clients related to his broad areas of expertise” around business and the public sector.
“Peter’s wealth of professional experience and public service, combined with his Atlantic Canadian roots and national and international background, provide McInnes Cooper with invaluable opportunities to support and partner with our clients in new and meaningful ways,” said Kevin Kiley, managing partner at McInnes Cooper.
MacKay’s new gigs come after his recent loss to Erin O’Tool for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada. The August leadership race was MacKay’s first return to politics since he chose not to run in the 2015 federal election.
The New Glasgow-born MacKay was first elected to the House of Commons, representing the Pictou-Antigonish-Guysborough riding, in 1997.
He was elected leader of the federal Progressive Conservative Party in 2003, shortly before the party merged with Stephen Harper’s Canadian Alliance to form the Conservative Party of Canada.
During Harper’s time as Prime Minister, MacKay served in several high-profile cabinet positions, including Foreign Affairs and National Defense.
Prior to entering politics, MacKay worked as a lawyer. He studied Law at Dalhousie University and was called to the Nova Scotia Bar in June 1991, before working as a crown attorney through the bulk of the 1990s.
In today’s news release, MacKay said he was “thrilled by the opportunity to collaborate with two such diverse, well-regarded and talent-rich firms.”
“I look forward to applying my experience and expertise and collaborating with both teams to achieve successful results and to working on national files, while also helping Atlantic Canadian organizations and businesses thrive,” he said.
