David Sweet

David Sweet is a four-term Member of Parliament, representing the suburban Ontario riding of Flamborough-Glanbrook in the House of Commons. He is also the National Conservative Caucus Chair.

During his tenure on the government side of the House from 2006 to 2015, MP Sweet served as Vice-Chair of the Public Accounts Committee, Chair of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology, as well as the Chair of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs.

The Industry, Science and Technology Committee that MP Sweet chaired dealt with a series of complex issues ranging from the ascendency of the digital economy, anti-spam legislation, entertainment software, mobile communications and more. Notably, the Committee released its report E-Commerce in Canada: Pursuing the Promise in 2012 following months of expert witness testimony and research.


Prior to his election to Parliament, David Sweet owned his own management consulting business – which operated for 17 years offering training services for a variety of corporate, public and not-for-profit sector clients. His consultancy leveraged his frontline business experience leading a large real estate brokerage in Mississauga during the 1980s building boom and the successful tow truck business he and his wife, Almut, operated in Mississauga from 1978 to the early 1980s.

MP Sweet continues to be a fitness and outdoors enthusiast who enjoys hiking, cycling, swimming and running. A favourite summer pastime is riding his motorcycle and participating in a number of charity rides each year.
