From 1979 to 1980, he was the deputy minister of Finance under Joe Clark.[5] From 1983 to 1987, he was President and Chief Operating Officer of the Bank of Montreal. From 1993 to 1999 he was chairman of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, a period in which "virtually every aspect" of the organization was transformed.[6]
