EspañolJIM MALOWAY
'Peter James (Jim) Maloway' (born November 10, 1952) is a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He is currently a member of the Manitoba legislature.
Maloway was born in Sioux Lookout in northern Ontario, and was educated at the University of Manitoba. He later worked for the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission, served as Executive Assistant to the Minister of Colleges and Universities and Tourism, and owns the Maloway & Eliason Insurance & Travel Centre.
Maloway has been active in the New Democratic Party since 1971. He unsuccessfully ran for the Winnipeg municipal council in 1974 and 1983, and was an unsuccessful candidate for the NDP nomination in the federal riding of Winnipeg North Centre in 1984. In 1973, he was the Returning Officer for the riding of Wolseley.
Maloway was first elected to the Manitoba legislature for the New Democratic Party in the provincial election of 1986, defeating Independent candidate (and former New Democrat) Russell Doern by 3241 votes to 2006 in the north-end Winnipeg riding of Elmwood. He narrowly retained the seat against Liberal Ed Price in the 1988 election, at a time when NDP fortunes were falling throughout the province. He later served as the party's Consumer Affairs spokesman.[1]
Maloway spoke against the Meech Lake Accord in 1990, and indicated that he would consider using procedural methods akin to those used by fellow MLA Elijah Harper to stop the accord's passage.[2]
In the 1990 election, Maloway defeated Progressive Conservative Vic Toews (later a Manitoba cabinet minister, and after that a member of the Canadian House of Commons) by 4127 votes to 3035. He served as critic for Consumer and Corporate Affairs and the Manitoba Public Insurance Corp. in the next sitting of the legislature. In 1991, he argued that Manitoba should adopted Quebec's system of no-fault auto insurance.[3]
He was re-elected by greater margins in the elections of 1995, 1999 and 2003, winning almost 66% of the votes on the latter occasion.
Despite his long tenure in the legislature, Maloway has never been appointed to cabinet.
Maloway was among a group of Manitoba MLAs who sought to persuade Edward Schreyer to seek the federal NDP leadership in 1989.[4]
He supported Lorne Nystrom's bid to become leader of the federal New Democratic Party in 1995, and supported Bill Blaikie in 2003.
He was re-elected in the 2007 provincial election.
