From 1916 to 1917, he was president of the New Westminster Federal Conservative Association. He was first elected to the House of Commons of Canada for the electoral district of New Westminster in the 1917 federal election. He was re-elected in 1921, 1925, and 1926 elections. He was defeated in 1930.[2] McQuarrie was a staunch supporter of such old Conservative policies as Asian Exclusion and the protective tariff, and successfully faced down such strong Labour challengers as future Vancouver councillor R. P. Pettipiece (1921), legendary suffrage and co-operative advocate Rose Henderson (1925) and future Burnaby Reeve W. A. Pritchard (1926).
