Mila Mulroney took a more prominent role than many Prime Ministers' wives while she was in office, acting as a campaigner for several children's charities. She also became a target of criticism due to her luxurious spending habits. She was most criticized for her vast and costly collection of shoes, which earned her the nickname Imelda from Frank Magazine.

She is currently director of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation .
