Law, University of Ottawa, Political life : First elected to legislature in Elected Liberal leader in Elected premier in general election. He agreed, some say out of a strong sense of duty, and won the ensuing byelection. McGuinty grew up as the oldest in a family of 10 children, and in many ways the singular dynamic of that home environment made him the person he is.
He talks frequently of the demands on his mother, Elizabeth, who also worked as a nurse, and the responsibilities he had as the eldest of so many siblings. His critics have tried to cast him as dull, lacking charisma, aloof and out of touch. McGuinty met with his caucus after a series of dramatic developments throughout the day at the provincial legislature. The opposition accused senior cabinet ministers of misleading the legislature by insisting that they had disclosed all documents relating to two cancelled power plants when in fact they were aware that was not the case.
