Preston Manning, M.P., Leader of Her Majesty's Official Opposition in the House of Commons, the Reform Party of Canada and the Canadian Alliance until June of 2000. He assumed the formal role of Chief of Staff in June 1997 in order to help build the United Alternative, which became the Canadian Alliance. He did this in the capacity of a Chair of the United Alternative Steering Committee. Prior to that, Mr. Fryers was a partner with the law firm of Milner Fenerty (now Fraser Milner) which he joined in 1980. He worked in the Tax Litigation Section of the Department of Justice, Ottawa from 1971 to 1977 and then as General Tax Counsel for Mobil Oil Canada, Ltd. While at Milner Fenerty from 1980 to June of 1997, he offered legal advice on mergers and acquisitions, corporate reorganizations, resource taxation and international taxation. He also carried on a significant practice involving negotiation with fiscal authorities, including tax litigation. He made numerous appearances before the Tax Court of Canada, the Federal Court of Canada, and the Supreme Court of Canada. As a partner, he also played, at various times, a role in the organization, management and strategic planning of the firm and served as Chairman of the Business Development Department for five years and as Managing Partner of the Calgary office for three years. Mr. Fryers received his bachelor of Commerce degree, with a major in Marketing and a minor in Corporate Finance, from the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, in 1970, and his Law degree from the same institution in 1971. He was a member of the Law Societies of four provinces, Saskatchewan (1972), Ontario (1977), Manitoba (1978) and Alberta (1978), but now continues as an active member of only the latter. Mr. Fryers was a Governor of the Canadian Tax Foundation and a Director of the Canadian Petroleum Tax Society.

He was also Chairman of the Party's 1993 federal election effort when the Reform Party went from one seat to fifty-two seats. He also chaired the Party's 1997 federal election campaign effort, which resulted in sixty seats for Reform. Mr. Fryers was the founder of the Business Against Drugs Program of which he was Chairman of the Board of Directors.
