Haultain was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories in 1887, and became a leader of a group of Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) demanding responsible government for the territory.

Nonetheless, he became leader of the Northwest Territories Liberal-Conservative Party in 1897, and his party formed the government, but he still appointed a mix of Liberals and Conservatives to his cabinet. The Northwest Territories Liberal-Conservative Party also known as the Territorial Conservative Association was a short lived political party in the Northwest Territories, Canada, from 1898-1905. ...

As premier, Haultain led negotiations for the granting of provincial status. Haultain argued for these territories to be admitted as a single province named "Buffalo", and wanted the new province to be governed by non-partisan governments. The federal Liberal government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, however, decided to create two provinces, Alberta and Saskatchewan, in 1905. The Liberal Party of Canada (French: Parti libéral du Canada), colloquially known as the Grits (originally Clear Grits), is a Canadian federal political party positioned around the centre to centre-left of the political spectrum, combining a generally progressive social policy with moderate economics. ...

Frustrated in negotiations with the federal Liberal government, Haultain became increasingly identified with the Conservative Party and campaigned for it in the 1904 federal election. Laurier's Liberals were re-elected, and when the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan were formed, the Liberal government passed over Haultain and appointed loyal Liberals to form those provinces' first governments. The Conservative Party of Canada has gone by a variety of names over the years since Canadian Confederation. ... In the Canadian federal election of 1904, SIr Wilfrid Laurier led the Liberal Party of Canada to a second term in government, with an increased majority in the canadian House of Commons, and over half of the popular vote. ...

Haultain led the Provincial Rights Party in the 1905 Saskatchewan provincial election, which was won by the Liberal Party of Saskatchewan. From 1905 to 1912, Haultain sat in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan as leader of the Opposition. The Provincial Rights Party was a Canadian political party founded and led by Frederick W.A.G.

In 1912, the newly elected Conservative federal government of Sir Robert Borden made Haultain Chief Justice of Saskatchewan's superior court. He was knighted in 1916, and in 1917 was made Chief Justice of the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal, a position he held until his retirement in 1938. 1912 (MCMXII) was a leap year starting on Monday in the Gregorian calendar (or a leap year starting on Tuesday in the 13-day-slower Julian calendar). ...
