Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney

Brian Mulroney arranged for canadian prime minister John Diefenbaker to visit the school and prove to the students and teachers that this indeed was true.
Soon after his graduation, his career took off with the position of as a member of the Cliché Commission of Inquiry. This organization helped end the corruption and violence that was being hidden in the construction industry, and Brian Mulroney was noted for his leadership role in this event. He was noticed by the political party, and this feat helped pave the way towards becoming the canadian prime minister.
His next position was as the Vice President of the Iron Ore Company, which within one year’s time turned into a position as the President of the Iron Ore Company. He began running for the conservative party leadership in 1983, and won the vote by a landslide. Brian Mulroney was sworn in as the canadian prime minister in 1984, and was then responsible for positively influencing the trade relationship between canada and the United States. He instigated the North American Free Trade Agreement which allowed canada and America to have a more efficient trade process. Brian Mulroney’s influence in office gave canada a smoother and more profitable import and export system.
