Mr. Crosbie’s family has been a political and mercantile force in Newfoundland since the late nineteenth century. His grandfather, Sir John Chalker Crosbie, founded Crosbie and Company Limited, and the family business found success in a number of industries including shipping, hotels, fish exporting and, in later years, the whale fishery. Crosbie has had a remarkable career in provincial and national politics, and served as the province’s Lieutenant Governor from 2008 to 2013.
