Although a prominent Liberal, Manley was appointed by Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2007 to head an independent, non-partisan panel reviewing Canada's mission and future role in Afghanistan. Most of the recommendations of the ''Independent Panel on Canada's Future Role in Afghanistan'' (the "Manley report") were accepted, including an extension of the mission beyond February 2009 while calling for more soldiers and equipment.

From January 2010 to October 2018 Manley was president and CEO of the Business Council of Canada. He has held directorships of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), CAE Inc., Telus, and the Canadian Pacific Railway. Manley served as Chair of Ontario's Royal Commission on Electric Power planning following the northeast blackout of 2003. He serves on the advisory board of the Leaders' Debates Commission.
