Joseph Jean-Pierre Marc Garneau (French pronunciation:[maʁkɡaʁno]; February 23, 1949 – June 4, 2025) was aCanadian Armed Forces officer, astronaut and politician. Garneau served as a naval officer before being selected as an astronaut as part of the1983 NRC Group. He became the first Canadian in space on October 5, 1984, and flew on threeSpace Shuttle missions. From 2001 to 2005, Garneau was president of theCanadian Space Agency (CSA). Garneau entered politics and was elected to theHouse of Commons in 2008, serving as a Montreal-areamember of Parliament (MP) until 2023. A member of theLiberal Party, Garneau served asMinister of Foreign Affairs from January to October in 2021 and asMinister of Transport from 2015 to 2021.
Born inQuebec City, Garneau joined the Canadian Armed Forces, graduating with a bachelor's degree in engineering physics from theRoyal Military College of Canada in 1970, and serving with Maritime Command (now known as the Royal Canadian Navy) as a combat systems engineer. He earned a PhD in electrical engineering from theImperial College of Science and Technology in 1973. In 1983, Garneau was selected to be an astronaut. In 1984, he became the first Canadian in space as part ofSTS-41-G and served on two subsequent missions:STS-77 andSTS-97. He was appointed executive vice-president of the CSA in February 2001, before becoming the agency's president in November. Garneau resigned from the CSA in 2005, and was elected toParliament in 2008. The Liberal Party formed government following the2015 election and Garneau was appointed to Cabinet. After serving as transport minister and foreign affairs minister, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not appoint Garneau to another portfolio after a Cabinet shuffle following the2021 election. In 2023, Garneau retired from politics.
Joseph Jean-Pierre Marc Garneau was born into a military family on February 23, 1949, inQuebec City,Quebec,Canada.[1] His grandfather, Gérard Garneau, was a colonel who served in the Canadian military duringWorld War I.[2] His father, André Garneau, was aFrench Canadian from Quebec City who joined the military duringWorld War II.[3][4] His mother, Jean Richardson, wasEnglish Canadian fromSussex, New Brunswick, and was a nurse during World War II.[4] She met André while nursing him at a military hospital before he deployed overseas.[2] After the war, André continued his service in the Canadian military, rising through the ranks to become abrigadier general.[2] The Garneau family had four sons, beginning with Braun, followed by Marc, Charles, and Philippe Garneau.[5][6]
Garneau's frequent relocations due to his father's occupation during his upbringing necessitated his attendance at various schools, spanning both primary and secondary education, in Quebec City,Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu andLondon,England.[7] He graduated from theRoyal Military College of Canada in 1970 with abachelor of science inengineering physics and began his career in theCanadian ForcesMaritime Command.[8]
In 1973, he received aPhD in electrical engineering from theImperial College of Science and Technology inLondon, England. His thesis was titled "The Perception of Facial Images". ThePhotofitanalogue computer was used by him to discriminate facial features.[9] In 1974, Garneau served as a naval combat systems engineer aboardHMCS Algonquin.[8]
From 1982 to 1983, he attended theCanadian Forces Command and Staff College in Toronto. While there, he was promoted to the rank ofcommander and was transferred to Ottawa in 1983. In January 1986, he was promoted tocaptain. Garneau retired from the Canadian Forces in 1989.[8]
On December 5, 1983, theNational Research Council of Canada (NRC) announced Canada's first group of astronauts that were to fly on NASA'sSpace Transportation System.[10] Garneau joined this firstCanadian Astronaut Program (CAP) group, as one of six chosen from over 4,300 applicants.[11] Of these six original astronauts, he was the only military officer.[11] Garneau became the first Canadian to reachspace on October 5, 1984, whenSpace ShuttleChallenger flew intolow-Earth orbit.[12]
Garneau's first spaceflight was aboard the Space ShuttleChallenger, on theSTS-41-G mission, from October 5 to 13, 1984.[13] He was apayload specialist.[14] He was promoted to the rank of Navy Captain in 1986, and left the Canadian Forces in 1989, to become deputy director of the CAP.[8] In 1992–93, he underwent further training to become amission specialist.[15] He worked asCAPCOM for a number of shuttle flights and was on two further flights himself:STS-77 (May 19 to 29, 1996) andSTS-97 (to theISS, November 30 to December 11, 2000).[15][16] He logged 677 hours in space.[17]
On February 1, 2001, Garneau was appointed executive vice-president of theCanadian Space Agency (CSA).[18] On September 28, 2001, the government announced his appointment as president of the CSA, replacingMac Evans in that position on November 22, 2001.[19] Garneau resigned from the Canadian Space Agency on November 28, 2005.[20]

Garneau served as theMember of Parliament (MP) in theCanadian House of Commons for over 14 years. He represented two electoral districts during this time, firstWestmount—Ville-Marie, and after the2012 Canadian federal electoral redistribution,Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Westmount.[21] His first attempt to win elected office was unsuccessful, as he placed second in theVaudreuil—Soulanges electoral district during the2006 federal election.[22] He first won elected office as a result of the2008 federal election, winning his seat by over 9,000 votes.[23] He was re-elected to the House of Commons in the2011 federal election by 642 votes.[24][25] His electoral district was abolished and he stood for office in the newly created Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Westmount district for the2015 federal election. He won the election with a majority of over 18,000.[26]
On November 28, 2012, Garneau announced his candidacy for the leadership of the Liberal Party to be decided in April 2013. On March 13, 2013, Garneau formally withdrew his bid for the party leadership.[27] On November 4, 2015, Garneau was appointedMinister of Transport in the29th Canadian Ministry of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He became Minister of Foreign Affairs on January 12, 2021, after a cabinet reshuffle.[28]
Garneau resigned as the president of the Canadian Space Agency to run for the Liberal Party of Canada in the2006 federal election in the riding ofVaudreuil—Soulanges, which was then held byMeili Faille of theBloc Québécois.[29] The Liberal Party's support dropped off considerably in Quebec after theSponsorship scandal and though considered astar candidate, Garneau lost to Faille by over 9,000 votes.[30][31]
In the2006 Liberal Party leadership election Garneau announced his support for perceived front-runnerMichael Ignatieff, who lost toStéphane Dion on the final ballot.[32] With the resignation of Liberal MPJean Lapierre in 2007, Garneau expressed interest in being the party's candidate in Lapierre's former riding ofOutremont.[33] Dion instead appointedJocelyn Coulon as the party's candidate, who went on to be defeated by theNew Democratic Party'sThomas Mulcair in the by-election.[34]
In May 2007, Garneau filed nomination papers to be the party's candidate in Westmount—Ville-Marie, after former Liberal Party deputy leaderLucienne Robillard announced she would not be seeking re-election. However, a week after filing his nomination papers Dion announced that he had hand-picked a candidate for the riding. Garneau later withdrew his nomination papers and announced he no longer had an interest in politics. In October 2007, Garneau and Dion held a joint news conference where they announced that Garneau would be the Liberal Party candidate in Westmount—Ville-Marie.[33] Robillard announced her resignation as Member of Parliament in January and a by-election was later scheduled for September 8, 2008.[35][36] However, the by-election was cancelled during the campaign when Prime MinisterStephen Harper called ageneral election for October 14, 2008. Though some pundits predicted a close race between Garneau and NDP candidateAnne Lagacé-Dowson, Garneau went on to win the riding by over 9,000 votes.[23][37]
Garneau was a member of the Industry, Science and Technology committee of the 40th Parliament. He also served on the Canada-Japan interparliamentary group.[38]
Garneau was narrowly re-elected in the2011 election where he beat New Democratic Party candidate Joanne Corbeil. He was Liberal House leader and served from 2013 as Liberal foreign affairs critic. He was a candidate for interim leadership of the Liberal Party, but was ultimately defeated byBob Rae.[39][40] Garneau announced later that year that he was considering a bid for the permanent leadership of the party.[41] In the summer of 2012, he announced that he was looking for a "dream team" to run his leadership bid and that he would only run if he could find the right people.[42][43]
On November 21, 2012, Garneau was named his party's natural resources critic afterDavid McGuinty resigned the post.[44]
On November 28, 2012, Garneau announced his bid for the leadership of the Liberal Party, placing a heavy focus on the economy.[45][46] While fellow leadership candidateJustin Trudeau was widely seen as the front-runner in the race, Garneau was thought to be his main challenger among the candidates.[47] With his entrance into the leadership race he resigned his post as Liberal House leader, while remaining the party's critic for natural resources.[48]
At the press conference announcing his candidacy Garneau ruled out any form of co-operation with theGreen Party orNew Democratic Party to help defeat theConservative Party in the next election, which was proposed by leadership candidateJoyce Murray.[49]

On January 30, 2013, Garneau was replaced as natural resources critic byTed Hsu. Garneau had been serving in the position on an interim basis.[50] On March 13, 2013, Garneau announced his withdrawal from the race, and threw his support to front-runnerJustin Trudeau. On September 18, 2013, Garneau was named co-chair of the Liberal International Affairs Council of Advisors, providing advice on foreign and defence issues toLiberal Party of Canada leaderJustin Trudeau.[51][52]
In the2015 elections held on October 19, 2015, Garneau was re-elected as MP in the newly created riding ofNotre-Dame-de-Grâce—Westmount. Two weeks later, on November 4, 2015, Garneau was appointed the minister of transport by Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau.[53] In May 2017, Garneau introduced an airline passenger bill of rights to standardize how passengers can be treated by airlines which operate any flights in and out of Canada. The legislation would create minimum compensation rates for overbooking, lost or damaged luggage, and bumping passengers off flights. It would also prohibit airlines from removing people from the flight if they have purchased a ticket and set the standard fortarmac delays and airline treatment of passengers when flights are delayed or cancelled over events in the airline's control, or because of weather conditions.[54]

In March 2019, after days of initial refusal to take actions following the crash ofEthiopian Airlines Flight 302, Garneau who had even gone so far as to say on March 11 that he would board a 737 MAX 8 "without hesitation" as an apparent show of support for theBoeing Company,[55] finally agreed on March 13 toground and prohibit allBoeing 737 MAX aircraft from flying in Canadian airspace.[56] TheTrump administration followed suit later that day.[57] This stood in contrast to the ministry's previous stance, where Garneau insisted the plane was safe to fly, thus making Canada one of the only two nations still flying a substantial number of Boeing 737 MAX planes at the time.[58][59]
Garneau continued to serve as Minister of Transport after the elections to the 43rd Parliament held in October 2019. He was at Transport for the first two years of theCOVID-19 pandemic, and thus he was responsible to enforce theQuarantine Act as lieutenant to the Minister of HealthPatty Hajdu; during this time he made many decisions that would affect the lives of travellers in co-ordination with Hadju.[60][61][62]
Garneau then served as Minister of Foreign Affairs from January 12, 2021, until October 26, 2021.[38] On January 12, 2021, following the resignation ofNavdeep Bains asminister of innovation, science and industry, Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau shuffled the Cabinet, with Garneau becoming Minister of Foreign Affairs andOmar Alghabra taking his place at Transport.[63] Garneau was described as one of the most qualified and capable members of Cabinet.[64][65][66]
Following the cabinet shuffle stemming from theelection in October 2021, Garneau was dropped from Cabinet on October 26, despite being re-elected to his seat in the House.[67] Some speculated that Garneau did not remain in cabinet due to his age, being sacrificed in the name of gender parity, and that he reportedly refused to be subservient to the Prime Minister's Office.[64][65][66]
On March 8, 2023, Garneau announced that he would resign his seat and retire from politics.[68] He gave his farewell speech in theHouse of Commons the same day.[69][70] Theby-election to replace him in parliament occurred June 19, 2023.[71] LiberalAnna Gainey succeeded him, with almost as big a majority of votes as Garneau had won previously.[72]
In retirement, Garneau continued to advocate for the advantages of human spaceflight in building space infrastructure for monitoring the planet and for communications.[73] In autumn 2024, Garneau's autobiography,A Most Extraordinary Ride: Space, Politics and the Pursuit of a Canadian Dream was published in Canada.[74]
Early in 2025, Garneau was diagnosed with bothlymphoma andleukemia.[75] In the final weeks of his life, he was a patient atMcGill University Health Centre's Glen Site, inMontreal.[76] His family announced he lost his battle with cancer, and died in Montreal on June 4, 2025, at the age of 76.[76][1][77] After the announcement, members of the Canadian House of Commons stood for a moment of silence to remember their recent colleague.[78] His first wife and mother to two of his children, Jacqueline Brown, predeceased him by suicide in 1987, shortly after the couple separated.[79] He is survived by his second wife, Pam Garneau, and four children, Yves, Simone, George, and Adrien.[80]
