As a boy, Jean Chrétien was often picked on. A
childhood illness left his face partially paralyzed. It also made him deaf in
one ear. When he was teased about these things, he would fight back, and
sometimes get in trouble.
Chrétien’s fighting spirit also helped him overcome
obstacles. When he grew up, he became Canada’s 20th prime minister.
EARLY LIFE
Jean Joseph Jacques Chrétien was born in 1934 in
the province of Québec. He was the 18th of 19 children. Ten of his siblings
died young.
When Chrétien was five years old, he was sent to
boarding school. Chrétien disliked it so much he once faked an attack of
appendicitis, a serious illness. He had surgery so he would be sent home!
Young Chrétien took an interest in politics. His
father was an organizer for Canada’s Liberal Party. By age 14, Chrétien was
attending rallies and handing out information for the Liberal Party.
After graduating from college, Chrétien decided to
become a lawyer. He earned his license to practice law at the age of 24. By the
age of 29, he had won a seat in Canada’s Parliament representing Québec.
CAREER IN PARLIAMENT
When Chrétien entered Parliament in 1963, English was
Canada’s only official language. But Chrétien had grown up in French-speaking
Québec. As an adult, he had to learn English as a second language!
In 1968, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau made
Chrétien the minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Chrétien
served in Canada’s Parliament for 27 years. During that time, he held 12
ministerial posts.
PRIME MINISTER
In 1990, the Liberal Party elected Chrétien as
its leader. In 1993, Chrétien became Canada’s prime minister.
One of Chrétien’s biggest achievements as the
nation’s leader was to cut government spending. This reduced the government’s
huge debts. Chrétien’s spending cuts won credit for helping Canada’s economy
grow.
Chrétien also fought a separatist movement in
Québec. Some people in Québec did not want to be part of Canada. They did not
believe the government cared much about their interests. Chrétien worked to
defeat the Separatists, and support for their cause declined.
In 2003, Chrétien retired from office after ten years
as prime minister.
