The heraldic mark of the prime minister of Canada is granted to holders of the office who pursue an official personal coat of arms from the Canadian Heraldic Authority.
History
[edit]Presently, seven former prime ministers have official coats of arms featuring the mark. Chronologically they are: Joe Clark,[1] Pierre Trudeau,[2] John Turner,[3] Brian Mulroney,[4] Kim Campbell,[5] Jean Chrétien,[6] and Paul Martin.[7]
In addition, three children of Paul Martin were granted differenced versions of their father’s arms, all of which continue to feature the prime minister’s mark, thus demonstrating its heritable nature.[7]

[edit]Prime ministers John A. Macdonald and Charles Tupper both had personal coats of arms, however neither feature the heraldic mark because the symbol had not been adopted during their tenure.[citation needed]
