Jackman Faculty of Law. Before entering politics, he worked as a lawyer, businessman, and entrepreneur, building a career that spanned the private and public sectors. His use of English marked his public-facing work throughout that time.\n\nAs a politician, Martin served Canada in a period that ran from 2003 to 2006, leading both the Liberal Party and the federal government as Prime Minister. During and after his time in public life, he received a number of honours recognizing his contributions. These included the Companion of the Order of Canada, the Canadian Newsmaker of the Year award, an honorary doctorate from Laval University, and an honorary doctorate from the University of Ottawa. His career across law, business, and politics reflected a range of professional commitments that stretched over several decades before his retirement from political life.\n\nNow a retired politician, Martin's public record includes those years at the helm of the Canadian government as its 21st Prime Minister. The Companion of the Order of Canada, one of the country's most significant civilian honours, stands among the formal acknowledgments he received for his career in public service.","In 2003, Paul Edgar Philippe Martin — also known as Paul Martin Jr. — took on two of the most prominent roles in Canadian public life simultaneously, becoming both the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and the 21st Prime Minister of Canada, positions he would hold until 2006.","paul-martin",null,[],{"quotes":15,"pagination":78},[16,24,30,36,42,48,54,60,66,72],{"id":17,"quote_text":18,"author_id":5,"source_id":19,"has_image":20,"author":21,"source":22,"quote_tag":23,"commentary":12},3873034,"Reasonable people can have differences.",7,false,{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":11,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":12},{},[],{"id":25,"quote_text":26,"author_id":5,"source_id":19,"has_image":20,"author":27,"source":28,"quote_tag":29,"commentary":12},3873026,"Canadians would not tolerate it if they really knew there was a whole generation of aboriginal Canadians who have a chance at a better education and are being denied it.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":11,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":12},{},[],{"id":31,"quote_text":32,"author_id":5,"source_id":19,"has_image":20,"author":33,"source":34,"quote_tag":35,"commentary":12},3873018,"I got a call from a group saying they'd like to have a roundtable with the reserve next door, and would I help to set it up.
