After leading Canada's foreign, defense and justice departments in the last Tory administration from 2006 to 2015, he ducked the limelight. "I will be Canada's jobs prime minister," MacKay told public broadcaster CBC, promising"a real environmental plan." Forcing snap elections to challenge the Liberals would be an equally hard sell in the midst of the worst economic crisis since World War II.

Married to an Iranian-born former beauty queen, with whom he has three children, MacKay was first elected to Parliament in 1997 representing his father's old Nova Scotia electoral district.
