The Honourable Paul Bonwick (born October 24 1964) is a lobbyist and former politician.
A businessman, sales and marketing consultant, Bonwick was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1997 general election as the Liberal Member of Parliament for Simcoe—Grey and was re-elected in 2000. After six years as a government backbencher under Jean Chrétien he was appointed parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development with special emphasis on Student Loans in December 2003 by Chrétien's successor, Paul Martin.
In the subsequent 2004 general election, Bonwick, having benefitted in the past by vote splits between the Progressive Conservatives and the Reform Party fell victim to the new Conservative Party of Canada losing his seat to Conservative candidate Helena Guergis by exactly 100 votes.
Since leaving politics, Bonwick has been registered as a legislative lobbyist for Access Copyright, a not-for-profit agency representing publishers, authors, photographers and other content creators.
