Marc Garneau
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/Marc_Garneau_2016.jpg/220px-Marc_Garneau_2016.jpg)
Garneau in 2016.
Joseph Jean-Pierre Marc Garneau, PC MP CC CD FCASI (born February 23, 1949) is a Canadian politician and the Minister of Transport in the Government of Canada. He is a retired military officer, former astronaut, and engineer; Garneau was the first Canadian in space taking part in three flights aboard NASA Space shuttles in 1984, 1996 and 2000. Garneau was the president of the Canadian Space Agency from 2001 to 2006, and in 2003 was installed as the ninth Chancellor of Carleton University in Ottawa.Garneau has served as the Member of Parliament for the riding of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Westmount, and its predecessor Westmount—Ville-Marie, in Montreal since the 2008 federal election, winning by over 9000 votes. He was re-elected to the House of Commons in the 2011 federal election by 642 votes, and in the 2015 federal election with a majority of over 18,000. Previously, he unsuccessfully stood in the riding of Vaudreuil-Soulanges at the 2006 federal election.On November 28, 2012, Garneau announced his candidacy for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada to be decided in April 2013. On March 13, 2013, Garneau formally withdrew his bid for the Party leadership. On November 4, 2015, Garneau was appointed as Minister of Transport in the 29th Canadian Ministry.
Early life and career
Joseph Jean-Pierre Marc Garneau was born on February 23, 1949, in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. He attended primary and secondary schools in Quebec City and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Physics from the Royal Military College of Canada in 1970, and in 1973 received a Doctorate in Electrical Engineering from the Imperial College of Science and Technology in London, England. From 1982 to 1983, he attended the Canadian Forces College in Toronto.
Career in the Navy
In 1974, Garneau began his career in the Royal Canadian Navy as a Navy combat systems engineer on HMCS Algonquin. He was promoted to Commander in 1982 while at Staff College and was transferred to Ottawa in 1983. In January 1986, he was promoted to Captain and retired from the Navy in 1989.
Career with the Canadian Space Agency
Garneau was one of the first Canadian Astronauts and he became the first Canadian in outer space in October 1984. In 1984, he was seconded to the new Canadian Astronaut Program (CAP), one of six chosen from over 4,000 applicants. He flew on the shuttle Challenger, STS-41-G from October 5 to 13, 1984, as payload specialist. He was promoted to Captain in 1986, and left the Navy in 1989, to become deputy director of the CAP. In 1992–93, he underwent further training to become a mission specialist. He worked as CAPCOM for a number of shuttle flights and was on two further flights himself: STS-77 (May 19 to 29, 1996) and STS-97 (to the ISS, November 30 to December 11, 2000). He has logged over 677 hours in space.
In February 2001, he was appointed executive vice-president of the Canadian Space Agency, and became its president on November 22, 2001.
Political career
Garneau resigned as President of the Canadian Space Agency to run for the Liberal Party of Canada in the 2006 federal election in the riding of Vaudreuil-Soulanges, which was represented by Meili Faille of the Bloc Québécois. The Liberal Party's support dropped off considerably in Quebec after the Sponsorship scandal and though considered a star candidate Garneau lost to Faille by over nine thousand votes.
In the 2006 Liberal Party leadership election Garneau announced his support for perceived front-runner Michael Ignatieff, who lost to Stéphane Dion on the final ballot. With the resignation of Liberal MP Jean Lapierre in 2007, Garneau expressed interest in being the party's candidate in Lapierre's former riding of Outremont. Dion instead appointed Jocelyn Coulon as the party's candidate, who went on to be defeated by the New Democratic Party's Thomas Mulcair in the by-election.
In May 2007, Garneau filed nomination papers to be the party's candidate in Westmount—Ville-Marie, after former Liberal Party Deputy Leader Lucienne Robillard announced she would not be seeking re-election. However, a week after filing his nomination papers Dion announced that he had hand-picked a candidate for the riding. Garneau later withdrew his nomination papers and announced he no longer had an interest in politics. In October 2007, Garneau and Dion held a joint news conference where they announced that Garneau would be the Liberal Party candidate in Westmount—Ville-Marie. Robillard announced her resignation as Member of Parliament in January and a by-election was later scheduled for September 8, 2008. However, the by-election was cancelled during the campaign when Prime Minister Stephen Harper called a general election for October 14, 2008. Though some pundits predicted a close race between Garneau and NDP candidate Anne Lagacé-Dowson, Garneau went on to win the riding by over 9,000 votes.
Garneau was narrowly re-elected in the 2011 election where he beat New Democratic Party candidate Joanne Corbeil. He was Liberal House Leader and served as Liberal Foreign affairs Critic. He was a candidate for interim leadership of the Liberal Party, but was ultimately defeated by Bob Rae. Garneau announced later that year that he was considering a bid for the permanent leadership of the party. In the summer of 2012, he announced that he was looking for a "dream team" to run his leadership bid and that he would only run if he could find the right people.
On November 21, 2012, Garneau was named his party's Natural Resources critic after David McGuinty resigned the post. On January 30, 2013, Garneau was replaced as Natural Resources critic by Ted Hsu. Garneau had been serving in the position on an interim basis
On September 18, 2013, Garneau was named co-chair of the Liberal International Affairs Council of Advisors, providing advice on foreign and defence issues to Liberal Party of Canada leader Justin Trudeau.
In the 2015 elections held on October 19, 2015, Garneau was re-elected a Parliamentarian in the newly created riding of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Westmount. Two weeks later, on November 4, 2015, Garneau was appointed Transport Minister of Canada in the federal Cabinet headed by Justin Trudeau.
Leadership
On November 28, 2012, Garneau announced his bid for the leadership of the Liberal Party, placing a heavy focus on the economy. While fellow leadership candidate Justin Trudeau was widely seen as the frontrunner in the race, Garneau was thought to be his main challenger among the candidates. With his entrance into the leadership race he resigned his post as Liberal House Leader, while remaining the party's critic for Natural Resources.
At the press conference announcing his candidacy Garneau ruled out any form of co-operation with the Green Party or New Democratic Party to help defeat the Conservative Party in the next election, which was proposed by leadership candidate Joyce Murray.
On 13 March 2013 Garneau announced his withdrawal from the race, and threw his support to front-runner Justin Trudeau.
Awards and honours
Garneau was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1984 in recognition of his role as the first Canadian astronaut. He was promoted the rank of Companion within the order in 2003 for his extensive work with Canada's space program.
He was awarded the Canadian Forces Decoration for 12 years of honourable service with the Canadian Forces.
He is honoured with a high school named after him, Marc Garneau Collegiate Institute in Toronto and É.S.P. Marc-Garneau in Trenton, Ontario.
Garneau is the Honorary Captain of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets. In addition, no 599 Royal Canadian Air Cadets squadron is named in his honour.
Garneau was awarded the Key to the City of Ottawa from Marion Dewar the Mayor of Ottawa on 10 December 1984.

A Maple Leaf on the Red Planet
by Eric Choi Monday, February 23, 2004
(https://www.thespacereview.com/archive/105a.jpg)
CSA President Marc Garneau wants to lead Canada on its own mission to Mars. (credit: CSA)
The recent landings of NASA’s Spirit and Opportunity Mars Exploration Rovers have excited and inspired millions around the world. If Canadian Space Agency president Marc Garneau has his way, they may be joined in a few years by a craft bearing the red Maple Leaf.
On February 8, the Royal Canadian Institute for the Advancement of Science brought Garneau to the University of Toronto to present his vision of Canada’s role in the exploration of Mars. It was a dream he first enunciated in an address three years ago—on the 40th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s Moon speech to Congress—in which Garneau challenged the Canadian space community to set a course for Mars. The plan called for Canada to be an active participant in the international Mars missions of this decade, culminating in the launch of a Canadian-led mission to the Red Planet. Allons-y, he said. Let’s go.
Marc Garneau is without question a national hero. As the first Canadian in space, he flew as a payload specialist on mission STS-41G of the space shuttle Challenger in October 1984. He subsequently served as a mission specialist on two more flights, both on Endeavour (STS-77 in 1996 and STS-97 in 2000), logging over 677 hours in space. In 2001, Garneau became the president of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).
“Mars does not give up its secrets easily. But our success as a species is rooted in a larger belief. We believe that only by accepting risk do we more forward. Today, I’d like to engage you in a glorious risk.”
His remarkable achievements and down-to-Earth personality have made him an extremely popular figure in Canada. This and the interest generated by the current missions to Mars brought a capacity crowd to the University of Toronto’s Macleod Auditorium on a Sunday afternoon. So many people came to hear Garneau speak that latecomers had to watch his presentation on monitors in an overflow room.
“I am here today to share our vision,” Garneau began, “and to reach out to kindred spirits willing to embark on one of the greatest adventures of our lifetime.” He started by acknowledging the risks inherent in Mars exploration, highlighted most recently by the presumed loss of the British Beagle 2 lander and the failure of the Japanese Nozomi spacecraft. The latter was particularly poignant for Canada, as Nozomi carried an instrument called the Thermal Plasma Analyzer that would have been the first Canadian science payload to orbit Mars. “There are great risks involved in driving deep into the unknown,” said Garneau. “Mars does not give up its secrets easily. But our success as a species is rooted in a larger belief. We believe that only by accepting risk do we more forward. Today, I’d like to engage you in a glorious risk.”
Since he first challenged the nation to pursue that glorious risk three years ago, the Canadian trajectory to Mars has had its share of ups and downs. In 2002, NASA invited the CSA to participate in the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), a mission that will send a sophisticated long-range rover to the Red Planet in 2009. Canada was to provide a suite of innovative technologies including robotics for sample acquisition and processing, lidar (light detection and ranging) systems for precision landing and rover navigation, and a drill for subsurface exploration. Unfortunately, the Canadian federal government’s 2003 budget did not allocate any new money to support the CSA’s participation in MSL, a setback that Garneau called a “lost opportunity”. The decision galvanized members of Mars Society Canada to set up a petition urging the government to reconsider its budgetary priorities.
While participation in MSL remains uncertain, Garneau’s dream of a major Canadian role in Mars exploration this decade will still become a reality. In August 2003, NASA selected Phoenix as the first of its low-cost, science driven missions under the Mars Scout program. Scheduled for launch in 2007, Phoenix will land in the northern Vastitas Borealis region to assess the astrobiological potential of Mars at high latitudes. In particular, it will verify the recent discovery of possible subsurface water ice detected by the gamma ray spectrometer aboard the orbiting Mars Odyssey spacecraft. Canada’s contribution to the Phoenix mission will be a Meteorological Station (MET). This system will consist of a lidar instrument that will characterize boundary layer turbulence and dust circulation in the near-surface atmosphere and measure phenomena such as dust devils, as well as sensors for measuring atmospheric pressure and temperature. In the summer of 2008, the MET will become the first Canadian science instrument on the surface of Mars.
A distinctly Canadian mission
But Garneau’s ambitious are much grander. His presentation made lavish use of the gorgeous images from Gusev Crater and Meridiani Planum. He praised the success of the NASA rovers, but added, “As inspired as we are about the recent advances by Opportunity and Spirit, how satisfying would it be to turn on CBC and hear about Canadian breakthroughs on Mars.”
The CSA president spoke of NASA’s new directive to return to the Moon in advance of human expeditions to Mars, and the European Space Agency’s Aurora program, as well as plans by Russia, Japan, India, and China for deep space exploration. “Now,” Garneau said, “it is our turn to set ourselves firmly on a course to Mars. It is time to build upon our national spirit as pioneers and firmly take our country’s next step in the exploration of space. We need a chance to position ourselves as an indispensable partner in the international program to explore Mars, in all stages of that effort, from robotics to human exploration, and we need to start soon. What could set our own mark higher than by daring to develop a Canadian capability that will allow us… to lead our own scientific planetary exploration mission?”
According to a CSA fact sheet distributed at the lecture, such a “Canadian Concept” mission to Mars could take place as early as 2009 or 2011, although in his spoken remarks Garneau mentioned 2011 and 2013 as possible launch dates. The fact sheet further stated that the proposed mission would not be exclusively Canadian but would be “distinctly Canadian” and would feature Canadian ideas, technologies, and expertise in collaboration with international partners. Another criterion was that the mission had to be science-driven and fill a void in the international Mars exploration strategy.
Garneau provided some hints as to what form a Canadian mission might take. “We could develop a state-of-the-art, but very modest, Mars science platform and all the components for an atmospheric science orbiter, or a lander science station that could even be mobile on the surface, or a set of small landers with penetrators that would function as a network of science instruments.”
“As inspired as we are about the recent advances by Opportunity and Spirit, how satisfying would it be to turn on CBC and hear about Canadian breakthroughs on Mars.”
Collaboration with international partners would be a necessity because Canada does not have a launch capability and currently lacks experience with interplanetary transfer and atmospheric entry, descent, and landing. The country’s longest partnership is with NASA, a collaboration that dates back to the launch of Alouette 1 in 1962, which made Canada the third nation to have a satellite in orbit. Garneau had high praise for Canada’s relationship with NASA, which has included participation in the Space Shuttle and International Space Station programs as well as Earth-observation missions like RADARSAT. He also noted that strong ties have also been forged with the European Space Agency, “and most recently with Japan and Russia.” Garneau did not address a recent SpaceRef.com article which reported that the CSA has been in contact with Russia on the possible provision of launch services and other relevant technical expertise.
Two pizzas a year
Engineering issues aside, there is of course always the matter of cost. “Do we have the will to do it?” Garneau asked rhetorically. “That is the crux of the matter, and the will implies getting the funding. Now, when I talk about a Canadian mission in 2011 and 2013, I’m thinking we can do a mission to Mars that’s either an orbiter or a lander for about $150 million [Canadian, US$112 million]. That is a very cheap mission in my opinion, and I think it is definitely very doable.”
Cheap by the standards of major space programs is still a significant sum of money in the eyes of the general public. As in other spacefaring nations, the question is often asked whether space exploration is worthwhile when there are contemporary terrestrial needs that must be addressed. To the skeptics, Garneau had an answer.
“I like to say it costs every Canadian one medium-size cheese-only pizza per year to finance Canada’s space program.”
“There’s a small crowd of course who think that we should not spend a penny on space. I know that the majority of Canadians feel the opposite is true. We feel good about our contributions to a life-sustaining and life-affirming endeavor. Exploring space is as natural a thought to Canadians today as building a railway across a vast and rugged country was in 1885.
“We have every reason to place Mars high on our priority list. For one, if Canada doesn’t, we will be left back on the launch pad. For another, the requirements inherent in such a venture are a natural fit for Canadian talent and know-how. We have everything to gain by embracing a program that allows Canadian industry to develop and advance cutting-edge technologies. This is the time to start thinking outside the box, to participate as opposed to watching from the sidelines.”
The Canadian Space Agency’s annual budget is $300 million (US$225 million). “That may seem like a huge amount of money,” said Garneau, “but it’s 75 times smaller than NASA’s budget, and we’re an economy that’s 1/12th of the US economy. I like to say it costs every Canadian one medium-size cheese-only pizza per year to finance Canada’s space program.” That remark elicited friendly laughter from the audience. In response to a question, Garneau said that he thought “$300 million is not enough to do what we would like to do. If you’re asking me what I would like to do, I think we could do a lot more if we had about $500 million [US$375 million] per year budget.”
A Maple Leaf on the Red Planet would definitely be worth two pizzas a year.

OTTAWA — Veteran Liberal MP and former minister Marc Garneau is resigning his seat after nearly 15 years in politics.
The National Post first reported that Garneau, a senior Liberal MP who served as Canada’s foreign affairs minister and transport minister, made the announcement to his party’s Quebec caucus Wednesday morning, right before he shared the news with the national caucus. He will also be addressing his departure in a speech to the House of Commons later in the day. (...)
His colleagues confirmed the news of his departure, and praised Garneau for his public service. Minister of Health Jean-Yves Duclos said the news of Garneau’s resignation came as a “great shock” and that his departure represents a “great loss” for all Canadians. (...)

Canada's global reputation suffering under Trudeau, Garneau asserts in autobiography
Mia Rabson, The Canadian Press Published Friday, July 5, 2024 5:59AM EDT Last Updated Friday, July 5, 2024 3:50PM EDT
After the Liberals came to power in 2015, Garneau served in Trudeau's cabinet for six years, more than five of those as the minister of transport. He spent the final nine months as the minister of foreign affairs, until Trudeau dropped him from cabinet completely after the 2021 election.
In his book, Garneau acknowledges being "blindsided" by that decision — one he says Trudeau never explained.
He writes that Trudeau did offer him the ambassadorship to France during a phone call about the decision, but Garneau said no. He said he would prefer to be an ambassador in Washington, D.C. Trudeau thought about that and ultimately said no. (...)

Marc Garneau, first Canadian in space, reflects on his ‘rock ‘n’ roll ride’ in memoir
By The Canadian Press Oct 8, 2024 | 2:00 AM
Marc Garneau had already been strapped into his seat aboard the space shuttle Challenger for two hours before hearing the countdown that would make him Canada’s first man in space.
Ten … nine … eight …
“Am I ready for this?” he recalls thinking 40 years ago. “You know that this is the beginning of something. All of Canada was looking.”
Seven … six … five …
“Did I tell my wife and my children that I loved them?”
Four … three … two … one …
Blast off!
“Eight-and-a-half minutes of a rock ‘n’ roll ride,” he said. “Life is not a totally safe experience.”
Everything changed for Garneau after that Oct. 5, 1984 ascent, from his attitude toward risk to his attitude toward Earth. And Canadians, he said, woke up to a new reality: that their country was not only a participant in the race to space but a pacesetter. (...)

It is an enormous pleasure to be in Canada. In today’s geopolitical and economic environment, the partnership between ESA and 🇨🇦 has never been more strategically important. I look forward to turning challenges into opportunities together this week and over the coming months. An important moment to make bold decisions will be at #CM25 where Canada, as a non-European Cooperating State, will play a key role in forming the future.

I was sorry to hear that my friend and fellow astronaut Marc Garneau passed away - the first Canadian to fly in space. My heart goes out to his family and also to the Canadian people that he served – not only from space, but for a lifetime on Earth.
He was a serious person – 👇
generous with his advice for folks less experienced like me, and always kind. I loved that twinkle of laughter that was never far from his eyes - most notably when he presented me with a Moosehead Beer T-shirt from his first flight that I had mentioned wistfully. 👇
“The Moose is Loose in SPACE!!”. He found it in the far corner of a closet, and it’s still lurking somewhere in mine, along with fond memories of this wonderful man.

Q & A with astronaut Marc Garneau: Insights from his memoir

Marc Garneau courtesy: McClelland & Stewart
Astronaut, naval officer, and politician Marc Garneau is adding author to his list of jobs and stopping at The Book Keeper to promote his new memoir.
TJ: Does it still blow your mind that you were the first Canadian to fly in space?
MG: It does every day because when I did apply, and the reason that this opportunity came up is because Canada already had its own space program and had been involved in space for 20 years but on the non-human side, with things like communication satellites. And we approached NASA and said, look, you're designing and building a new vehicle called the Space Shuttle, and we'd like to build the robotic arm for it. Would you allow us to do it? We call the Canadarm, of course.
And so NASA wanted to thank us and said, look, in recognizing what you just did, we'd like to offer two Canadians the opportunity to fly it…Canada said great we'll go out there and find some astronauts.
So in 1983 a full-blown ad campaign started in the papers and on the radio…I saw this ad one day when I was in the Navy. I was very happy with my career in the Navy but I just couldn't ignore this. This was an opportunity for an incredible adventure on the frontier of space which was still pretty new at that time and I just couldn't resist it. (...)
