Clyde Jackman, (born December 21, 1954) is a former Canadian politician in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. He served as the Minister of Seniors, Wellness and Social Development in the provincial cabinet. As he is not running in the 2015 General Election, this role ceased upon the swearing in of the next Cabinet.
Jackman represented the district of Burin-Placentia West in the House of Assembly for the Progressive Conservatives. He has previously held the portfolios of Minister of Education, Minister of Fisheries & Aquaculture, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Recreation and Minister of Environment and Conservation.
Jackman came under attack in February 2011, when a report, by a committee put in place by the government, recommended that the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture invest $450 million to downsize the commercial fishery. Jackman announced immediately that he would not to endorse the report because he felt it would not solve the problems in the fishery. Lorraine Michael, the leader of the New Democratic Party, called on Jackman to resign his post as minister.
