Deachman, Grant, 1914-1983 : Grant Deachman was born 4 May 1914 in Calgary. His family moved first to Vancouver, then Guelph and, finally, Ottawa. His father, a noted political journalist, had represented North Huron (Ontario) in the House between 1935-1940. Grant Deachman married Helen Anderson, of Ottawa, in 1938. He served in the Royal Canadian Artillery during the Second World War, rising to the rank of Lieutenant, after which he established a successful financial consulting business.

He moved to British Columbia, and, after many grass-roots offices, became Provincial Organizer of the Liberal Party. He won the Liberal nomination for Vancouver-Quadra in 1962, but his bid for election to the House in that year was unsuccessful. However, Deachman did win the seat in the general federal election of the following year, 1963. Deachman was re-elected as MP for Vancouver-Quadra in the general federal elections of 1965 and 1968.

He was named a member of the Flag Committee, and penned the famous expose story of behind-the-scene machinations by the PC party to sabotauge the committee's workings. In 1965 Deachman was appointed Chairman of the House Standing Committee on Fisheries, and in 1967 Chairman of the House Standing Committee on Defence. He also served on the House Standing Committee on Transportation for many years. He was a member, then chairman, of the Canadian group of the Inter-Parliamentary union (chairman 1968-1970), and led Canadian Parliamentary delegations to Europe, Africa, India and South America. Prime Minister Pearson called on Deachman to co-ordinate the work of House committees.

A member of the House Standing Committee on Procedure and Organization, we was a member of the House committee which re-drafted House rules and procedures in 1968. In 1970, Deachman became the first elected chairman of the National Liberal Caucus, a position till then filled by the Party Leader through appointment and, in 1971, Deachman succeeded in re-establishing the old practice of making Cabinet Ministers responsible to Caucus for actions and policies. He established the Liberal Caucus Research Bureau. Because of his interest and skill in matters procedural, in 1971 Prime Minister Trudeau named Deachman Chief Government Whip.

He lost his seat in the general federal election of 1972, after which he retired from politics. He died 18 June 1983.
