A lawyer by profession, Haliburton was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1972 federal election as the Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament for South Western Nova. He lost his seat in the 1974 election, but regained a seat for the new riding of South West Nova in the 1979 federal election that brought the Tories to power under Joe Clark.
