Early life and career

Alcock was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Simon Fraser University and a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Harvard University. He was the director of Manitoba Child and Family Services from 1983 to 1985, and in this capacity spearheaded an effort to rewrite the province's child protection legislation. As a result of his efforts, Manitoba became the first province in Canada to introduce official protocols to deal with instances of child sex abuse.^[1] Alcock has also been active with the Harvard Policy Group, which studies the effects of Information Technology on the public sector. He began his political career at the provincial level, working as an organizer for the Manitoba Liberal Party in the early 1980s.^[2] For other uses, see Winnipeg (disambiguation). ...

Alcock was elected for the Winnipeg constituency of Osborne in the 1988 provincial election, in which the Manitoba Liberal Party rose from one seat to twenty under the leadership of Sharon Carstairs. He subsequently worked as campaign manager for high-profile Liberal incumbent Lloyd Axworthy in the 1988 federal election.^[3] Alcock served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as Official Opposition house leader and finance critic, and was re-elected in the 1990 provincial election despite a vote shift against his party. He endorsed Jean Chrétien's bid to lead the federal Liberal Party in 1990,^[4] and declared his own intention to enter federal politics in 1992.^[5] Osborne is a former provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. ...

Alcock soon developed a reputation as one of the most technologically savvy members of parliament.

The Chrétien government called a new federal election in the summer of 1997, only three-and-a-half years into a five-year mandate. The election timing was controversial in Manitoba, as it coincided with significant flooding from the Red River into Winnipeg. Alcock, along with other Manitoba Liberal MPs, requested a delay until the flooding was under control.^[11] When Chrétien called the election anyway, Alcock transformed his campaign office into a volunteer relief centre.^[12] He was personally involved in sandbagging and evacuation efforts, and did not actively campaign for the first period of the election. He was nonetheless returned by a significant margin.^[13] From 1998 to 2000, he served as parliamentary secretary to the President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs. In 1998, Alcock brought forward a private member's bill to overturn Louis Riel's conviction for high treason and recognize him as a Father of Confederation.^[14]

There were frequent rumours that Alcock would be appointed to the Chrétien cabinet, but he was passed over on more than one occasion. His professional relationship with Chrétien deteriorated after 2000, and in 2002 he became the primary Manitoba organizer for Paul Martin's bid to replace Chrétien as party leader.^[15] Later in the same year, he became one of the first Liberal MPs to openly call for Chrétien's resignation.^[16] Alcock increased his public profile in 2003, after chairing a committee which forced privacy commissioner George Radwanski to resign from office after revelations of extremely lax spending habits.^[17] Year 2000 (MM) was a leap year starting on Saturday (link will display full 2000 Gregorian calendar). ...

Cabinet minister

When Paul Martin became Prime Minister of Canada on December 12, 2003, Alcock was appointed to cabinet as President of the Treasury Board, Minister responsible for the Canadian Wheat Board, and political minister responsible for Manitoba. He was also named to the government's priorities and planning committee (described as the "inner circle" of cabinet)^[18] and was appointed chair of a cabinet committee which conducted a comprehensive review of government spending.^[19] is the 346th day of the year (347th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Policy

As president of the Treasury Board, Alcock was responsible for overseeing the Canadian civil service and the spending details of government agencies. He also played a prominent role in coordinating the Martin government's response to the federal sponsorship scandal, in which some public monies were misappropriated by bureaucrats and advertising agents in Quebec with ties to the Liberal Party.^[20] Alcock announced a new appointment process for crown corporation executives in 2004,^[21] and the following year issued a new policy of management control for government agencies. He argued that these reforms would prevent similar scandals from occurring in the future.^[22] One of his more notable initiatives was the establishment of a Chief Audit Executive for each government department and agency.^[23] He brought forward a total of 158 separate reforms for the public service in late 2005, and promised that another eighty would follow. Critics considered this to be excessive, and some suggested that Alcock was micro-managing his department.^[24] The sponsorship scandal, AdScam, or Sponsorgate, is an ongoing scandal that came as a result of a Canadian federal government sponsorship program in the province of Quebec and involving the Liberal Party of Canada (mostly its Quebec branch), which was in power since 1993 up to January 2006. ... , Motto: Je me souviens (French: I remember) Capital Quebec City Largest city Montreal Official languages French Government - Lieutenant-Governor Pierre Duchesne - Premier Jean Charest (PLQ) Federal representation in Canadian Parliament - House seats 75 - Senate seats 24 Confederation July 1, 1867 (1st) Area  Ranked 2nd - Total 1,542,056 km² (595...

Alcock also released a comprehensive proposal for reforming Canada's regulatory system in March 2005. He argued that his reforms would reduce delays for patent drug approval, and avoid the duplication of existing foreign research without compromising safety standards.^[25] Critics of the plan suggested that it could jeopardize Canadian sovereignty, and lead to the adoption of American regulatory standards.^[26]

In February 2004, a national newspaper identified Alcock as a leading cabinet supporter of private-public partnerships.^[27] Year 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In early 2005, Alcock publicly criticized his government's position against the legalization of marijuana. He argued that legalization and government oversight would be an improvement over the current system, and said "If we actually wanted to break the back of organized crime, we would be better off to control it. When you have these things underground, what you end up fuelling is organized crime."^[28] Cannabis, known as marijuana[1] or ganja[2] in its herbal form and hashish in its resinous form,[3] is a psychoactive product of the plant Cannabis sativa L. subsp. ...

He became involved in a minor controversy in May 2005, after Manitoba Conservative MP Inky Mark alleged that the Liberal government had tried to bribe him a patronage appointment. Alcock categorically denied that any such offer was made, and joked that his party would likely go "a little higher up in the gene pool" if it had such intentions. Mark initially dismissed the insult, but later held a press conference to denounce it as racist, interpreting the "gene pool" comment as referring to the fact that he is Chinese-Canadian. Alcock responded by saying, "I did make the comment and he has chosen to interpret it as a racial or an ethnic slur. I wrote him a letter apologizing for that. There was no implication of that sort".^[29] The controversy soon disappeared.

2006 election

Alcock was unexpectedly defeated in the 2006 federal election, losing a rematch to Conservative Rod Bruinooge by just over 100 votes in Winnipeg South. He took personal responsibility for the loss, and acknowledged that he did not spend enough time campaigning in his own riding, as he had been campaigning for other Liberal candidates in other ridings. Alcock also said that being the government's point man for the sponsorship scandal did not help his electoral prospects, although he defended his government's actions. ^[30] Rendition of party representation in the 39th Canadian parliament decided by this election. ...

One of Alcock's final acts in office was to approve a payment of up to $40,000 to assist Jean Pelletier with legal fees in a court challenge against the Gomery Commission. Representatives of other parties criticized this payment, saying that the government should only cover legal costs for working civil servants. Pelletier's lawyer argued that it followed a long-standing government policy for high-ranking functionaries in judicial proceedings.^[31] Jean Pelletier (born February 21, 1935 in Chicoutimi, Quebec) is a Canadian political operative and former head of VIA Rail. ...

Out of parliament

In March 2006, Alcock announced that he would support Belinda Stronach if she entered the campaign to succeed Paul Martin as Liberal leader.^[32] Stronach announced in early April that she would not be a candidate. Several of members of Alcock's political organization later worked for Ken Dryden's campaign, and Alcock himself endorsed Dryden at the leadership convention.^[33] Dryden dropped off after the second ballot and endorsed Bob Rae and then eventual winner Stéphane Dion.

Trivia

• In September 2005, Alcock donated an original painting entitled, "The view from my seat in the House of Commons, May 19, 6:10 p.m.", to a charity auction in Winnipeg. The work, a parody of Edvard Munch's The Scream, depicted Alcock's impression of the opposition Conservative caucus moments after the Liberals won a crucial confidence vote that could have forced early elections. Alcock acknowledged that the painting was mostly traced. It sold for $2,200.^[35]

• Alcock has suffered weight-related health problems during his political career, once weighing in at 430 pounds. Facing the prospect of severe diabetes, he was ordered to lose almost half of his body weight. He was down to 295 pounds by the 2006 election.^[36]
