McMillan was first elected to the Canadian House Of Commons in the 1979 General Election as the Progressive Conservative Member Of Parliament for Hillsborough , Prince Edward Island . He was re-elected in the 1980 and 1984 Elections . He served as Deputy House Leader from 1983 to 1984 under Brian Mulroney while he was Leader Of The Opposition . Following the Tory landslide in the 1984 general election, Mulroney appointed McMillan to Cabinet as Minister Of State for tourism. A year later, McMillan was named Minister Of The Environment , replacing the controversial Suzanne Blais-Grenier . McMillan maintained a much lower profile than his bombastic predecessor. McMillan remained Environment minister until he was defeated in the 1988 General Election due to opposition to the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement among his constituents. He maintained his involvement in politics, and attempted unsuccessfully to regain his Seat in the 1993 General Election . He again attempted a comeback in the 1997 General Election , this time in the riding of Peterborough , Ontario , but came in third place behind Liberal candidate Peter Adams and the Reform Party 's Nancy Branscombe .
