He was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1962 to 1981, and served as a cabinet minister in the government of Edward Schreyer. He is also a member of the Privy Council, the Order of Canada and the Order of Manitoba.
Cherniack's grandfather emigrated to Canada from Russia and then brought over Cherniack's grandmother and father and aunt in 1905; Cherniack is politician David Orlikow's first cousin. Cherniack's grandfather was a dealer of Judaica.
Cherniack was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. His parents, Joseph Alter Cherniack and his mother, Fanya Golden had been revolutionaries in Russia and had been briefly imprisoned before coming to Canada in 1905. Alter Cherniack became a prominent member of Winnipeg's Jewish community and leading supporter of the Independent Labour Party and Co-operative Commonwealth Federation in the city's north end. Alter Cherniack was a watchmaker by training but eventually earned his BA and law degree in Canada and became law partners with Malick Spivak whose son, Sidney Spivak, would go on to be Leader of the Opposition as leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba in the 1970s while Cherniack was in government.
