William H. Jarvis

William H. Jarvis

William Herbert "Bill" Jarvis, PC (born August 15 1930 in Hamilton, Ontario) is a former Canadian politician.

A lawyer by profession, Jarvis was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1972 election as the Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament for Perth—Wilmot.

When the Tories came to power as a result of the 1979 election, Prime Minister Joe Clark appointed Jarvis to Cabinet as Minister of State for Federal-Provincial Relations.

Clark's minority government fell as a result of the budget's defeat in a motion of no confidence, and lost the subsequent 1980 election. Jarvis was re-elected in his riding. He retired from politics at the 1984 election.
