He also worked for the

as a revenue and costing analyst from 2000 until 2004.
[9]
Political career
[
edit
]
38th Parliament
[
edit
]
In his first election in 2004, Bains won the Liberal nomination for the riding of
Mississauga?Brampton South
, and won the seat with over 57% of the total vote; beating his next nearest opponent by over 33%, or over 14,000 votes.
[10]
At that time, Bains was 26 years old and the youngest Liberal MP in Parliament.
[11]
Bains was elected chair of the Subcommittee on Human Rights and International Development of the
Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade
in April 2005, and held it until October 7, 2005, when he became parliamentary secretary to the prime minister, which at the time was
Paul Martin
.
[12]
As parliamentary secretary to the prime minister, Bains was sworn in as a member of the
Privy Council
, and served until February 5, 2006, the day before the Conservative government of
Stephen Harper
was sworn in after the
2006 federal election
.
[2]
[13]
In October 2005, Bains also became a member of the Red Ribbon Task Force that released a 2006 report on revitalizing the party organization.
[14]
In opposition
[
edit
]
In 2006, Bains was re-elected in his riding with just under 54% of the vote.
[15]
Also in 2006, Bains co-chaired the Liberal Party of Canada (Ontario)'s annual general meeting Toronto.
[16]
Because of his position in the Party and the roles he has been given, Bains was seen as a rising star, and had been selected three years in a row in the Hill Times survey as the best up and comer.
[17]
During the
2006 Liberal leadership convention
to replace Paul Martin, Bains threw his support behind Ontario Education Minister
Gerard Kennedy
, and after Kennedy dropped out before the third ballot, he joined Kennedy in supporting the eventual winner and new party leader,
Stephane Dion
.
[18]
In the
39th Parliament
, Bains held
Official Opposition
critic portfolios for
Public Works and Government Services
, the
Treasury Board
and

.
[19]
In January 2009, he was selected by
Michael Ignatieff
along with
Steve MacKinnon
to serve as Co-Chairs of the Special Committee on Party Renewal and tasked with heading a consultation process with the party membership on how to strengthen the party.
[19]
[20]
In March 2009, Bains was appointed Chair of Platform Development and oversaw the creation of the party's next electoral platform.
[19]
As part of his recommendations for party renewal, delegates at the
2009 Liberal leadership election
voted to ensure that all future leadership elections would be under a "weighted one member, one vote" system, where each riding has 100 points that are distributed to leadership candidates based on the percentage of votes from party members in that riding.
[18]
During the
40th Parliament
, Bains held Official Opposition critic portfolios for
Natural Resources
and
Small Business and Tourism
.
[2]
In January 2011, Bains claimed that the
Bloc Quebecois
was using "the politics of fear" and argued against their attempt to ban the ceremonial Sikh
kirpan
from the parliamentary buildings after an incident in which the
Quebec National Assembly
denied entry to a group of four kirpan-wearing Sikhs.
[21]
[22]
Out of Parliament
[
edit
]
In the
2011 federal election
,

, a former Mississauga City Councillor, beat Bains by over 5,000 votes.
[23]
Bains was a director of the
Municipal Property Assessment Corporation
from September 2012 to September 2015.
[24]
He also served on the Ontario Provincial Board of the
Heart and Stroke Foundation
, including a stint as Vice Chair starting December 2014.
[25]

[26]

University of Waterloo
and a distinguished visiting professor at the
Ted Rogers School of Management
at
Ryerson University
, starting in 2013 for a one-year term.
[6]
[27]
His teaching contract at Ryerson was extended, and he was still a professor at the time of his re-election in 2015.
[28]
Bains was touted as a possible candidate in the 2014 municipal election in Brampton and was included in January 2014 polling alongside candidates like Susan Fennell and John Sanderson in which he finished third among voters polled.
[29]
Provincial Liberal
Linda Jeffrey
subsequently ran for mayor and won.
[30]
Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry
[
edit
]
Bains was the Ontario co-chair for the federal Liberal campaign, and was returned to the House of Commons in the
2015 federal election
in the new riding of
Mississauga?Malton
.
[28]
[31]
On November 4, 2015, he was appointed the
minister of innovation, science and economic development
in
Justin Trudeau
's
Cabinet
.
[32]
The next day, Bains announced that the mandatory long form census would be restored for 2016, after it was
removed from the 2011 edition
under the Harper government.
[33]
Under Bains’ leadership, the
2016 Census
response rate exceeded 98 percent, making it the most successful Census since
1666
.
[34]
A major focus of Bains’ mandate is to spur innovation and economic development in Canada. Following public consultations across Canada in the summer of 2016, he launched the Inclusive Innovation Agenda. Based on the consultations, the Bains identified three priority areas for Canada's Innovation Agenda: finding better ways for more Canadians to get the skills the global economy demands (People), harnessing emerging tech that would create industries and jobs that never existed before as well as reinvigorate existing ones (Technology), and encouraging more Canadians to start and grow companies that are competitive in the global economy (Companies).
[35]
[36]
His portfolio also includes responsibility for the six regional development agencies across Canada: Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA); Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED); Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor); Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario); Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario (FedNor); Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD).
[37]
In December 2016, he also launched Connect to Innovate, a program that will invest $500 million to bring high-speed Internet to rural and remote communities across Canada.
[38]
In 2018, Bains announced $950 million for a variety of national
superclusters of innovation
across the country.
[39]
To date, Minister Bains has supported 37 projects, investing $389 million, leading to nearly $4.1 billion in total investments in the automotive sector. Bains locked in the manufacturing of the C-Series in Montreal, protecting 6,000 direct jobs in Ontario and Quebec in the aerospace industry. He also launched Canada's first-ever Intellectual Property Strategy.
Bains worked closely with the Advisory Council on Economic Growth, which advised the minister of finance on economic policies to achieve long-term
sustainable growth
. The council called for a gradual increase in permanent
immigration to Canada
to 450,000 people a year.
[40]
[41]
In 2019, Minister Bains announced Canada's Digital Charter.
[42]
In August 2020, amidst a review of an August 2019 decision by the
Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) to reduce capacity rates by up to 43% and access rates up to 77%, Bains released a statement saying that the government shared the fears of Canada's big telecommunication corporations that it went too far and would disincentivize investment in communication networks, especially less profitable rural and remote areas. However, the statement also said that the government would not formally intervene in the ongoing review.
[43]

[
edit
]
In August 2020, Bains and

Bains introduced legislation to amend the
Copyright Act
with respect to improving access to works by persons with a
perceptual disability
, which subsequently received

, bringing the Treaty into force on September 30, 2016.
