Timothy Hodgson named as Canada ’s natural resources minister.

He entered politics only recently, winning a seat in suburban Toronto .

He never saw himself as a politician, but with the country “at a crossroads,” he felt compelled to step up.

Hodgson is far from a household name in politics, but his resume reads like a checklist for economic leadership.

Hodgson has been known to answer business calls from remote locations like the Himalayas .

He was chair of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization , the body responsible for regulating investment dealers and overseeing trading.

Former colleagues say he handled sensitive negotiations with a mix of analytical precision and calm resolve.

The transition from business to political life may be one of his biggest tests, according to some who know him.
