The Honourable Tim Hodgson brings a wealth of experience in finance, public service, and leadership to his role as Member of Parliament for Markham–Thornhill and as Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources.

Born in Winnipeg and raised in a Canadian Armed Forces family, Minister Hodgson grew up moving from coast to coast, gaining a deep appreciation for the country’s diversity and the values that connect Canadians. Today, he lives with his wife in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) where they raised their two daughters.

Minister Hodgson’s early years were shaped by a strong sense of service. He served as a reserve officer in the Canadian Armed Forces while earning his Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Manitoba. That experience inspired a lifelong commitment to supporting military families, including through his involvement with the True Patriot Love Foundation.

After completing his MBA at Western University’s Ivey Business School, Minister Hodgson went on to a successful global career in finance. He spent two decades with Goldman Sachs in senior leadership roles across New York, London, Silicon Valley, and Toronto, eventually serving as CEO of Goldman Sachs Canada.

He later served as a special adviser at the Bank of Canada, working alongside then-Governor Mark Carney to help navigate global economic uncertainty. He also has experience working in the private sector in both clean and conventional energy, across several provinces.
