Marc Miller (born March 12, 1973) is a Canadian politician who was elected to represent the riding of Ville-Marie—Le Sud-Ouest—Île-des-Sœurs in the House of Commons in the 2015 election. A member of the Liberal Party of Canada, he currently serves as Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship in the Federal Cabinet following the swearing in of a new cabinet on July 26, 2023. He previously served as the Minister of Crown Indigenous Relations, starting on October 26, 2021.
An anglophone Montrealer,[4] Miller attended Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf in the 1980s at the same time as Justin Trudeau, and has been described variously as "a boyhood friend of Mr. Trudeau" and "one of Trudeau's oldest friends."[5] [6] [7] Miller earned bachelor's and master's degrees in political science from the Université de Montréal.[8]
Miller graduated from McGill University Faculty of Law in 2001 with common and civil law degrees.[9] Prior to his election, Miller was a practising lawyer with Stikeman Elliott. Miller also previously served in the Canadian Army Primary Reserve as an infantry officer.[10]
Miller helped organize Trudeau's first run for office in Papineau in 2007.[11] He was an advisor and the fundraising director for Trudeau's successful run at the 2013 Liberal Party leadership election.[12]
Miller was elected in the 2015 federal election to represent the riding of Ville-Marie—Le Sud-Ouest—Île-des-Sœurs in the 42nd Canadian Parliament.[13] After the election, he served as the chair of the Quebec Liberal Caucus of MPs.
On January 28, 2017, Miller was appointed as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities. On June 1, 2017, Miller delivered the first ever speech in the Mohawk language in the House of Commons. Miller said he had started taking language lessons from Zoe Hopkins in the spirit of reconciliation. He also wanted to demonstrate to the non-French speaking Liberal MPs whom he had urged to study French in his former role as the Quebec Liberal Caucus chair that it was possible to juggle learning a new language while performing their parliamentary duties.[14]
On August 31, 2018, he was moved to be the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Crown–Indigenous Relations.
On November 20, 2019, just after the 2019 Canadian federal election to the 43rd Canadian Parliament he was sworn in as Minister of Indigenous Services.
On October 26, 2021, just after the 2021 Canadian federal election to the 44th Canadian Parliament, Miller was named the Minister of Crown–Indigenous Relations, replacing Carolyn Bennett.[15]
On July 26, 2023, Miller became the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. He set an annual goal of 500,000 new immigrants per year by 2026.[16]
On 14 August 2024 Miller said he was 'disgusted' with the case of Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, who was made a citizen of Canada after he had beheaded someone on film when he was part of the terrorist group ISIS in 2015.[17] Eldidi would have gone unnoticed until a tip from police in France notified the RCMP of a conspiracy to terrorize Canadians while the 2024 Paris Olympics were ongoing. Eldidi and his son were apprehended with bombs at a hotel in Toronto on 28 July and charged with terrorism, possession of weapons and conspiracy to commit murder for the so-called Islamic State.[18] Said MP Frank Caputo, who was one of the members of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security at the time, "This is a colossal failure and we need answers."[18]
Miller married Elin Sandberg, a former Swedish diplomat, whom he met at a party while both were studying at the Université de Montréal.[19] Together, they have three children, two boys named Marius and Lukas and a girl named Eva.[20]
Miller is a native speaker of English but is also a fluent speaker of French.
