He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1995 to 1999,[2] and was a cabinet minister in the government of Premier Gary Filmon from 1997 to 1999.
[1] The son of Leslie Radcliffe and Edith Bole, he was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree and an LL.B.
[3] In 1912, Radcliffe's father was planning to travel on what turned out to be the only voyage of the RMS Titanic with his uncle Charles Sedgwick and aunt Adelaide, who were on their way to Mexico City.
[4] In the Canadian general election of 1993, Radcliffe ran as a candidate of the Progressive Conservative Party in the riding of Winnipeg South Centre.
Although the Liberals as a whole ran a poor provincial campaign and lost 10% from their 1995 support level, Gerrard was personally popular enough that he defeated Radcliffe by 465 votes.
