- John Gilbert "Jack" Layton, PC, MP (born July 18, 1950) is a Canadian social democratic politician and since 2003 has been leader of Canada's New Democratic Party. He is a former member of the Toronto City Council and acting deputy mayor of Toronto, Ontario. On June 28, 2004, he was elected Member of Parliament for the constituency of Toronto—Danforth. He is married to fellow MP Olivia Chow. The son of a Progressive Conservative cabinet minister, Layton was raised in Hudson, Quebec. He rose to prominence in Toronto municipal politics where he was one of the most prominent left wing voices on city and metro council, and was also a Board member for the Toronto Port Authority. In 1991 he ran for mayor, but lost to June Rowlands. Remaining on council he rose to become head of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. In 2003 he was elected head of the NDP on the first ballot of the convention. Under his leadership, the NDP considerably increased their support, almost doubling the party's popular vote in the 2004 election, though vote splitting with the Liberals limited their gain in seats. Layton's NDP held balance of power in the Paul Martin's minority government, where in May 2005 the NDP supported the Liberal budget in exchange for major amendments, in what was promoted as Canada's "First NDP budget". In November of that year, Layton worked with other opposition parties in bringing down the Liberal government over the findings of the Gomery Commission. The NDP saw further gains in the 2006 and 2008 elections, in which the party won more seats than it had since its 1980s peak. The NDP's current tally of 37 MPs under Layton is just 6 seats short of the party's all-time high under Ed Broadbent.

- John Gilbert (Jack) Layton is een Canadees politicus. Sinds 2003 is hij partijleider van de Nieuwe Democratische Partij van Canada (NDP). Layton werd in het Franstalige Montréal in een Engelstalig gezin geboren. Hij studeerde politieke wetenschappen aan de McGill-universiteit en verhuisde in 1970 naar Toronto waar hij aan de Ryerson Universiteit les gaf. Zijn politieke carrière begon hij in 1982 toen hij werd verkozen in de gemeenteraad van Toronto waar hij één van de leiders van de linkse fracties werd. In 2003 deed Layton een gooi naar het leiderschap van de NDP en hij won bij de eerste stemronde reeds een meerderheid van stemmen. Een jaar later werd hij in het district Toronto-Danforth gekozen in het Canadees Lagerhuis. Tijdens de minderheidsregering van de Liberale minister-president Paul Martin zegde Layton aanvankelijk steun toe aan de regering tijdens het zogenaamde Sponsorship Scandal in ruil voor Liberale concessies aan de wensen van de NDP bij het debat over de staatsbegroting. Aan het einde van 2005 zegde Layton echter zijn steun op en steunde hij een motie van wantrouwen die door de Conservatieve oppositieleider Stephen Harper was ingediend. Bij de verkiezingen die in januari 2006 volgde won Laytons partij tien zetels.
