Nathan Cullen during a candidates debate on February 12, 2012 in Québec

Following the death of party leader Jack Layton, the NDP began a leadership race. Cullen announced his official candidacy on September 30, 2011. [40] In his opening speech, Cullen stated his vision for a new and progressive kind of politics, saying "now's the time for an honest discussion about the direction our politics is going in...and how we must change it for the better." [41] Cullen also argued the choice between the economy and the environment is unnecessary, but that a green economy is a balance between creating jobs and protecting the environment. [42] He cast himself as a pro-business candidate. [43] [44]

Cullen proposed that joint primary nominations should take place in Conservative-held ridings to determine the best possible local candidate to avoid vote splitting among 'progressives'. Cullen is suggesting that each constituency association would have the choice of whether or not to run their respective campaign in this way, and that there would be no "top-down" directive to do so. In his policy papers thus far, Cullen has also advanced a number of other ideas such as: creating a national public transit strategy, instituting carbon cap-and-trade pricing, putting a moratorium on new genetically modified organisms, redefining the Canadian Wheat Board, and holding a referendum on voting reform (Cullen supports mixed-member proportional representation as currently used in New Zealand and Germany). [45] [46]

Observers and commentators noted that Cullen's performances in the debates increased his profile. Whereas at the beginning of the race Cullen was considered one of the "also-rans", he eventually was given considerably more attention, with the CBC, The Globe and Mail , Toronto Star , and National Post all running articles on his candidacy. [47] [48] [49]

On the day of the convention, Cullen surprised many by placing third in the first round of voting with 16% of the vote, behind with Thomas Mulcair and Brian Topp in first and second respectively (30% for Mulcair, 21% for Topp). He continued to hold third place after the second and third counts, eventually being eliminated at the third count with 24.6% of the votes (Mulcair had 43% of the vote, Topp had 31%). [50] He declined to endorse another candidate. [51]

House Leader for the Official Opposition

On April 20, 2012 Cullen was named House Leader for the Official Opposition in Thomas Mulcair's first Shadow Cabinet Shuffle. Cullen replaced long time Ontario MP Joe Comartin as House Leader, with Comartin being named Critic for Democratic Reform. [52] [53]

Finance Critic for the Official Opposition

On March 20, 2014, Cullen replaced Peggy Nash as Finance Critic for the Official Opposition just days after former Natural Resources minister Joe Oliver was named Minister of Finance. [54] [55] Upon taking up the post, Cullen emphasized his previous occupation as a small business owner in northern British Columbia against Oliver's previous career as a Merrill Lynch executive and promised to bring a "Main Street" perspective to challenge Oliver's "Bay Street" background. [56] In March 2015, Cullen attacked Joe Oliver over his avoidance of Question Period after repeated delays in introducing the budget after the drop in oil prices. [57]

On September 23, 2014, Cullen tabled Bill C-628 (short-titled An Act to Defend the Pacific Northwest) in the House of Commons, which would ban supertankers from the Queen Charlotte Sound, the Hecate Strait and the Dixon Entrance, as well as modify the National Energy Board Act to require any pipeline review to take into account the impact of any proposal on employment in the refining and upgrading sectors, and require the National Energy Board to deepen its consultations with communities and First Nations. The bill was a response to the National Energy Board's approval of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. [58]

As part of the Take Back Our Coast campaign, Cullen toured dozens of communities around British Columbia's north, interior, lower mainland and across Vancouver Island promoting Bill C-628 and raising awareness about the potential impacts of a pipeline or supertanker spill from Northern Gateway on fisheries, tourism and communities. [59] On April 1, 2015, the bill came to a vote at second reading in the House of Commons, and was defeated by a count of 141–120, with all government MPs voting against. [60]

On November 22, 2014, Cullen was named Most Knowledgeable Parliamentarian at the Maclean's Magazine Parliamentarian of the Year Awards in Ottawa, edging out Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who placed second in votes. [61]

42nd Parliament

After the 2015 election, Cullen was appointed the NDP critic for Environment and Climate Change and Democratic Reform in the 42nd Parliament. [62]

As critic for Democratic Institutions, Cullen took the lead in criticizing the government's plans for electoral reform, and in particular for the Special Committee on Electoral Reform. The government ultimately reversed course, and instead backed Cullen's motion for the composition of the committee. [63] Cullen was subsequently named to the committee, and serves as vice-chair.

Cullen announced on March 1, 2019, that he would not run for re-election in that year's federal election. [64] [65]

Provincial politics

On January 27, 2020, Cullen was appointed by the Government of British Columbia as the liaison between the province and the Wetʼsuwetʼen hereditary chiefs. Cullen's appointment came in the midst of the 2020 Canadian pipeline and railway protests, after the hereditary chiefs refused to meet with BC Minister of Indigenous Relations Scott Fraser. [66]

In the lead up to the 2020 British Columbia general election, Cullen announced his intention to seek the nomination for the BC NDP in the riding of Stikine, essentially the northern portion of his federal riding. [67] His candidacy became the subject of controversy when he was acclaimed by the party one week after Annita McPhee, a former elected president of the Tahltan Nation, announced she was seeking the nomination for the riding. [68] The BC NDP has an equity policy whereby a male MLA has to be replaced by a member of an equity-seeking group, such as a woman or a First Nations person, when he retires. The party claimed that McPhee's application contained invalid signatures, and that the local riding association conducted a search for candidates to meet its equity policy but none were willing to stand. [69] McPhee asked Nathan Cullen to step down to from seeking the nomination for that riding because of the party's equity policy but Cullen refused. [70] Despite the controversy, Cullen was elected with 51.7% of the vote. [71]

On November 26, 2020, Cullen was sworn in to the Executive Council of British Columbia as Minister of State for Lands and Resource Operations. [72] On February 25, 2022 he was appointed Minister of Municipal Affairs. [73] He was subsequently named Minister of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship and Minister Responsible for Fisheries in the Eby ministry on December 7, 2022. [74]

Personal life

Nathan Cullen and Diana Dahr met in Smithers through their work with Katimavik, and they were engaged by the end of 2004. [75] On August 6, 2010, they became parents of twin boys at Mills Memorial Hospital. [76]
