Lawrence "Larry" Bagnell, PC, MP (born December 19, 1949) is a Canadian politician.
Bagnell was born in Toronto, Ontario. He is currently a Liberal Member of Parliament in the Canadian House of Commons, representing the riding of Yukon since 2000 where he won a closely contested election against Louise Hardy by 70 votes. He was re-elected in the 2004 federal election with close to half of the votes. Under the Martin government, he served as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources.
He was again re-elected in the 2006 election, increasing both his number and percentage of votes. In February 2006, a local newspaper in Whitehorse, Yukon suggested that he be a candidate in the upcoming Liberal leadership race.
On August 25, 2006, he announced that he was supporting Michael Ignatieff for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada.[1]
On January 18, 2006, Stéphane Dion, the new leader of the Liberal Party named Bagnell the Critic for Northern Affairs in his Shadow Cabinet.[2]
