Hnatyshyn was elected federally as a Progressive Conservative in 1974, and held a number of posts including government house leader, Minister of Mines, Energy and Resouces, Minister of Justice and Attorney General. He was defeated in 1988. As Governor General of Canada from 1990-1995, Ray and Gerda Hnatyshyn were celebrated for bringing a friendly, approachable energy to the role and Rideau Hall. They founded the Governor General’s Summer Concert Series, reopened a historic skating rink, started the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award and an award for volunteerism in the arts.

Canada Post created a stamp in his honour in 2004, and a statue of him stands by the South Saskatchewan River in Saskatoon.
