Politics
Landry was Minister of Justice in the government of Brian Gallant from 2016 until the Liberals lost power in 2018. He served in other cabinet roles since beginning of the Gallant administration in 2014.
Landry was chosen interim leader of the Liberal Party of New Brunswick on February 12, 2019 following the resignation of Brian Gallant.
