But the one I was thinking of was Ron Basford; interesting note about him; when he dropped out of government and became a partner in a private law practice in Vancouver, on his first day at his new job as he was being introduced to everyone in the office he announced that he was gay. This was in the late 70's.
>>Basford held a number of cabinet posts, starting with consumer and corporate affairs (1968 to 1972), minister of state for urban affairs (1972 to 1974), national revenue (1974 to 1975), minister of justice and attorney-general (1975 to 1978) and acting solicitor general in 1978.
