Jane Philpott is one of the most popular and richest Physician who was born on November 23, 1960 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Jane Philpott PC (nee Little) was born November 23, 1960. She is a Canadian physician, academic administrator, former politician, and represented Markham- Stouffville at the House of Commons. Philpott was elected to the Canadian Parliament as a Liberal Party member in 2015. She was then appointed to the Cabinet for the 29th Canadian Ministry by Justin Trudeau on November 4, 2015. Philpott, who was President of the Treasury Board, resigned on March 4, 2019. In the wake of the scandal, she and Jody Wilson Raybould were both expelled by the Liberal caucus.

Philpott served as a Markham-Stouffville family physician from 1998 to 2015. From 2008 to 2014, she was Chief of the Department of Family Medicine of Markham Stouffville Hospital. Concurrently, she was Associate Professor at the University of Toronto’s Department of Family and Community Medicine. She was the lead physician of the Health For All Family Health Team, Markham, Ontario. From 1989 to 1998, she worked in Niger, West Africa with a faith-based nongovernmental organization. There she practiced general medicine as well as developing a program for training village health workers. She returned to Niger with Medecins sans Frontieres in 2005 during a time of food crisis. From 2008 to 2014, she was the Family Medicine Lead in the Toronto Addis Ababa Academic Collaboration. She was a member of the Addis Ababa University Family Medicine team that developed the first training program in Ethiopia for Family Medicine. It began in 2013. In early 2016, the first seven students graduated from this program. Philpott is a strong advocate for Canada’s rights to refugees, especially in relation to their health care. She argued in a 2014 article in The Toronto Star that cuts made by the Conservative government to refugee health care were “cruel” and “unusual”. Philpott, along with Dr. Eileen Nicolle, is a co-curator at TEDxStouffville. The TEDxStouffville committee, a collaboration between Health for All Family Health Team, Markham Stouffville Hospital, the University of Toronto and residents of the town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, develops its program with live speakers on the theme of Social Determinants of Health.

Philpott was acclaimed as the federal Liberal candidate in the new riding of Markham—Stouffville in April 2014. During the 2015 Canadian federal election campaign she was frequently called upon by the party to be a spokesperson on the subject on the CBC programme Power & Politics. She was critical of the Conservative government’s lack of action and the returning of more than $350 million to the federal treasury in unspent funds over a three-year period, a sum that included millions for processing refugee applications and helping asylum-seekers settle into Canada. Following the death of Alan Kurdi she joined Marc Garneau in calling for increased refugee settlement in Canada by the end of 2015.

On November 9, 2015 she was appointed to chair a cabinet sub-committee to co- ordinate government efforts to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees in Canada through government sponsorship by the end of 2015.

She presided over the annual meeting of Commonwealth Health Ministers in Geneva, Switzerland, May 22-28, 2016 and led the Canadian delegation to the 69th World Health Assembly.

On August 14, 2019, Mario Dion, the Parliament of Canada’s Ethics Commissioner, released a report that said Trudeau contravened section 9 of the Conflict of Interest Act by improperly pressuring Wilson-Raybould. The report details lobbying efforts by SNC-Lavalin to influence prosecution since at least February 2016, including the lobbying efforts to enact DPA legislation. The report analyses SNC-Lavalin’s interests and finds that the lobbying effort advanced private interests of the company, rather than public interests. The report’s analysis section discusses the topics of prosecutorial independence and Shawcross doctrine (dual role of Attorney General) to draw the conclusion that the influence was improper and a violation of Conflict of Interest Act thereby validating Philpott’s decision to resign from cabinet over the affair. Philpott told the Canadian Press that the people of Canada still “deserve an apology” from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the SNC-Lavalin affair and issued a statement saying that she had taken a stand based on principle because she believes her constituents wanted her to uphold the highest ethical standard and that she welcomed the “validation” in the ethics commissioner’s report. She also noted with regret that Dion was not granted “unfettered access to all information that could be relevant to the exercise” of his mandate, further stating that this is essential to ensure transparency and accountability for public office holders as it relates to conflicts of interest.
