First elected in 1888 as Member of the Legislative Assembly for North Brandon, he was from 1891 to 1896 Attorney-General and Minister of Education of Manitoba. In 1896, he met, on behalf of the Province of Manitoba, with the Commissioners of the federal government to settle the constitutional litigation arising from the Manitoba School Law. Elected in 1896 as Liberal Member of Parliament for Brandon, he was Superintendent-General of Indian Affairs and Minister of the Interior until 1905, where he effectively pursued an immigration policy which brought many settlers to the Canadian west.
On account of a disagreement regarding the educational clauses in the Northwest Territory Autonomy Bill, he resigned from the Cabinet in 1905, yet remained a Liberal M.P. until 1911. He also served as British agent at the Alaska Boundary Tribunal in 1903. Clifford Sifton was Chairman of the Commission of Conservation, 1909-1918. Throughout his career, he was an active businessman, investing heavily in natural resource companies, transportation and newspapers, notably the Manitoba Free Press.
