Manion remained with the Conservative Party after the war. The new prime minister, Arthur Meighen, appointed him Minister of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment in 1921. He spent most of the 1920s on the opposition benches , except for a few months in 1926 when he served as a minister in the second Meighen administration, including the position of Postmaster-General.
