George Lawrence (March 21, 1857 – 1924)[1] was a Canadian politician who served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1899 to 1915 as a member of the Conservative Party, and was a cabinet minister in the government of Rodmond Roblin.
Born in Canada West, the son of Noble and Sarah (Lyons) Lawrence, both of whom were natives of Ireland, he was educated in Zephyr, and Uxbridge.
He was easily returned in the 1903 election, as the opposition vote was split between Liberal and Prohibition candidates.
He was again returned in the 1910 campaign, and was promoted to Roblin's cabinet on October 11, 1911, as Minister of Agriculture and Immigration.
In 1915, the Roblin administration was forced to resign from office after a report commissioned by the Lieutenant Governor found the government guilty of corruption in the tendering of contracts for new legislative buildings.
