John P. Fraser[1] MPP (born c. 1958) is a Canadian politician who served as the interim leader of the Ontario Liberal Party from June 2018 to March 2020, and from August 2022 to December 2023. Fraser is the member of provincial parliament (MPP) for Ottawa South and was first elected in a by-election on August 1, 2013.
Following the resignation of Kathleen Wynne as party leader after the party's poor performance in the 2018 election, he was unanimously endorsed by the other six remaining Liberal MPPs to become interim leader on June 13, 2018[2] and unanimously elected the next day by a vote of the party executive and riding association presidents.[3]
After Steven Del Duca was elected Liberal leader on March 7, 2020, Fraser remained the party's parliamentary leader as Del Duca didn't have a seat in the legislature.[4]
