In 1834 he was involved in organising the first canal connecting the Tay River to the Lower Rideau Lake. His efforts on behalf of the Church of Scotland to have it recognised as one of the two National Churches in the British Empire resulted in the creation of the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Canada.

In 1841 he was appointed to the Legislative Council of Upper and Lower Canada, and in 1842 was appointed Warden for Johnstown District. In 1844 he was appointed receiver general for the United Canadas and became President of the executive Council in 1846.
