MPP Welland | House LeaderCritic Portfolios: Peter Kormos burst on the Queen's Park scene in 1988 and has continued to make his presence felt in the Legislature and in the Niagara Region, where he is the MPP for Niagara Centre. A popular and outspoken fighter, the Kormos name is well known throughout the province. He is critic for the Attorney General, Solicitor General, Corrections, Government Propaganda and Labour for the Ontario New Democratic Party. He is also the House Leader for the NDP. He's a former Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations. Peter has an impressive career history. He's a seasoned criminal lawyer, a former Welland City Councillor and an active community volunteer. Active in the Big Brothers movement and Community Legal Services in Niagara, Peter is an Osgoode Law School graduate with a BA from York University and social work accreditation from Niagara College. He was called to the bar in 1980. A maverick, a firebrand and an all-around going concern, one thing Peter isn't is dull. He's the man who blew the whistle on the Harris government's inept Family Responsibility Office. He was then subjected to intimidation by the Harris government, including a bogus arrest and charges that were later thrown out by the courts. In 1992, Peter became the only Canadian to be awarded the "Amicus Curiae Award" by the Association of Trial Lawyers of America in Washington, D.C. Peter was the first to call for a public inquiry into the O.P.P. shooting of an unarmed Native Canadian, Dudley George, at Ipperwash Provincial Park. |
