Defence Minister Peter MacKay about to lose his status as one of Canada's most eligible bachelors

Toronto The Canadian Press and Globe and Mail Update

Defence Minister Peter MacKay is about to lose his status as one of Canada's most eligible bachelors.

Mr. MacKay has proposed to Jana Juginovic, a CTV news executive who is on a one-year fellowship at Harvard University.

Reports say Ms. Juginovic replied “yes” when he flew to Boston on the weekend to pop the question.

Mr. MacKay is 44, and Ms. Juginovic is 35.

It would be the first marriage for both.

Mr. MacKay was romantically linked with Belinda Stronach when she was a fellow Conservative MP, but that relationship ended in May 2005, when she crossed the floor of the Commons to join the Liberals.
