Government and political experienceEdit

McDougall served as a member of parliament from St. Paul's (Toronto) for the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada from 1984 to 1993. At the Cabinet table she was a vocal proponent of free choice for women in the abortion debate.<ref>17 Nov 2013 Toronto Star: "Mulroney-era cabinet documents reveal struggle to replace abortion law thrown out by court"</ref> She based her opposition to Senate reform partly on the fact that this institution is responsible for the state of abortion law in Canada at present.<ref>25 Oct 2013: "Why the Senate should be rebuilt, not abolished" Globe and Mail</ref>

She held the following government posts:

Position	Term
Secretary of State for External Affairs	1991.04.21 - 1993.06.24

Minister of State (Finance)	1984.09.17 - 1986.06.29

Controversial position at IDRCEdit

In December 2007 McDougall was appointed chair of the board of Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett criticized her appointment as Chair of IDRC because of the conflict of interest it created between her role as director of a tobacco company and chair of an agency funding tobacco control efforts.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The press release announcing her appointment did not mention her ongoing directorship of Imperial Tobacco.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It is also omitted from her bio on the IDRC website.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> As a result of this serious conflict of interest, a major tobacco control coordination meeting in Africa funded by IDRC was boycotted by its participants<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> and the Gates Foundation pulled US$5 million of tobacco control funding from IDRC in April 2010.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
