She won, in a surprise outcome, and immediately joined the cabinet, becoming Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (1989–1990). She later became Canada's first female Minister of Justice and Attorney General (1990–1993). She was then appointed as the first female Minister of National Defence after Mulroney shuffled his cabinet in 1993.
