- Douglas Cockburn Frith, PC (March 5, 1945 – March 21, 2009) was a Canadian politician. He represented the riding of Sudbury in the Canadian House of Commons from 1980 to 1988 as a member of the Liberal Party. Frith was born in Brampton, Ontario, graduated from Sudbury High School and attended the University of Toronto. Before entering politics, he was a pharmacist in Sudbury. He served as parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Health from 1980 to 1982, in the final government of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. When John Turner succeeded Trudeau as Liberal leader and Prime Minister in 1984, he brought Frith into Cabinet as Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. The Liberals lost the 1984 election, however, and Frith was one of just 40 Liberal MPs to be re-elected. Frith served in the opposition shadow cabinet as Defence critic and caucus chair. He did not run in the 1988 election in order to accept an appointment with Hill & Knowlton as vice-president. He became chairman of the Canadian subsidiary in 1995. From July 1996 to January 2008, Frith served as president of the Canadian Motion Picture Distributors Association, which is affiliated with the Motion Picture Association of America, and represents the interests of the American film industry in Canada. In April 2008, he joined Global Public Affairs as vice-chair. Frith died following a massive heart attack in Ottawa on March 21, 2009.
