About Steven Blaney

Steven Blaney is a Canadian businessman and politician who has been the mayor of Lévis, Quebec, since 2025. A member of the Conservative Party, he served as the Minister of Public Safety Canada from 2013 to 2015 and previously as the Minister of Veterans Affairs and Minister of State for La Francophonie in the cabinet of Prime Minister Stephen Harper from 2011 to 2013. He represented the Québec riding of Lévis—Bellechasse in the Canadian House of Commons from 2006 to 2021. Despite his anglophone-sounding name, Blaney is a Francophone; his English has a marked Quebecois accent. He ran in the 2017 Conservative Party of Canada leadership election, being eliminated in the 7th round of voting. Following many years of activity with the Conservative Party in Quebec, Blaney decided to run for the first time for a seat at the House of Commons during the 2006 federal elections in the riding of Lévis-Bellechasse. After his reelection in 2008, Blaney became the new President of the Quebec Conservative caucus.
