Derrick Dalley Biography

Derrick Dalley is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on July 22, 1965 in Twillingate, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Derrick Dalley MHA , (born July 22nd 1965) is a former Canadian politician from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. He was the minister of Natural Resources in the provincial cabinet. Dalley was a member of The district known as The Isles of Notre Dame in the House of Assembly from 2007 until the year 2015. Prior to entering politics, he was employed as the principal and counselor for guidance.

The district was named The Isles of Notre Dame in 2007 for the provincial election and Dalley was once more a challenger to Reid who was serving as the head in the Liberal Party. On the night of the election, Dalley became the winner, with only seven votes, in a two-person race. Because of Dalley having won just 10 votes, an judicial recount was needed. In November, his victory was confirmed, with the judge stating that he actually beat Reid with 12 votes. Reid was the MHA of the district since its creation in the year 1996. Prior to the creation of the district, the district was comprised of two separate districts and both of them were only represented by the position of a Progressive Conservative on one occasion.

On January 13, 2011, Premier Kathy Dunderdale appointed Dalley to cabinet as the Minister of Business. Dalley’s first major announcement as minister was a $500,000 loan to help establish a shrimp shell processing facility within his district. Following this announcement, both oppositions parties criticized Dalley’s appointment to cabinet. New Democratic Party leader Lorraine Michael said his appointment was in part because of his narrow victory in the 2007 election. Kelvin Parsons, who was the acting Official Opposition Leader, said the announcement showed Dalley was in trouble in his district and that he was appointed to cabinet to help him in the upcoming election. In the October 11, 2011, provincial election Dalley was easily re-elected, winning 68 per cent of the popular vote.

In an October 19, 2012, cabinet shuffle Dalley replaced Darin King as the Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture. At the time of Dalley’s appointment the department was dealing with a proposal from Ocean Choice International (OCI) that would allow the company to ship out raw product to Europe and Asia in return for processing jobs at the fish plant in Fortune. At the time OCI had 60 seasonal employees working at the Fortune fish plant and planned to create 110 full-time processing jobs if government approved their proposal. Negotiations had been ongoing for nearly a year and at the time of the shuffle Dunderdale said she was unsure if government would reach a deal with OCI. On December 21, 2012, Dalley held a news conference to announce that a deal had been struck with OCI. The deal would create 236 year-round jobs, between the town’s plant and on company vessels at sea, for a minimum of five years. In return the company would ship up to 75 per cent of its yellowtail flounder quota overseas and 100 per cent of its redfish quota.

Dalley was an Progressive Conservative Party candidate in the provincial election of 2003 within the districts that includes Twillingate and Fogo in opposition to Liberal Cabinet Minister Gerry Reid. Dalley was able to win 44 percent from the votes. However, he lost to Reid by a margin of 600 votes.
