First elected in 2013 John Fraser has been re-elected three times. He has also served twice as Interim Leader of the OLP in 2018 and 2022. 

After the 2014 election, John was mandated to support the development of the comprehensive strategy for palliative and end-of-life care that Ontario had under the previous Liberal government. It was a mandate he asked for and one that he was grateful to have had. John has long been guided by the firm belief that how we care for each other at the end-of-life is as important as it is at the beginning of our lives.

John has co-sponsored several bills including Rowan’s Law, whose mandate is to increase awareness about concussions in our schools and in amateur sports, and several Private Member Bills The Protecting Passenger Safety Act—which stiffened penalties for individuals who transport passengers for compensation without a licence, permit, or authorization—as well as an Act to proclaim November as Lebanese Heritage Month.

John is married to his high-school sweetheart, Linda, and they have three grown children, Kïrsten, John Jr. and James, and three grandchildren, Vaughn, Sloane and Fraser. He is also the proud puppy parent of Kealey.
