Tim Uppal PC MP (born November 14, 1974) is a Canadian politician, banker, and radio host who is the member for Edmonton Mill Woods in the Parliament of Canada.

Uppal was born on November 14, 1974, in the city of New Westminster, in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia, and was raised in Edmonton, Alberta.

In the 2000 federal election, Uppal ran for the Canadian Alliance in the riding of Edmonton Southeast, where he lost by fewer than 5,000 votes.

[4][non-primary source needed] In 2007, Laura Grosman, a student at the University of Ottawa, and granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor, began advocating for a monument to be constructed to commemorate the atrocities committed by the Nazis.

[5] Uppal also said he was influenced to support the initiative by his wife Kiran, who joined the Ottawa March of the Living delegation in 1994, the only Sikh participant taking part in the journey.

Uppal is the first Turban-wearing Sikh to be appointed to the Canadian Cabinet, one of five Visible Minorities serving as Ministers in the Harper government.

During his time as Minister of State for Democratic Reform, Uppal focused on the issue of over-populated constituencies and redistribution of federal riding borders.
