Peter Stoffer is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on January 6, 1956 in Heerlen, Heerlen, Canada. Stoffer was born in Heerlen, Netherlands in 1956 and emigrated with his family to Canada the same year. His father worked in the coal mines, but after the mines closed down in 1956, Stoffer’s family decided to move to Canada. His father became a mail carrier, his mother was a nurse and later they ran a group home for disabled youth. Stoffer is a former airline customer service agent and active union member who was also vocal on environmental issues.

Stoffer has been critical of MPs who cross the floor and has repeatedly introduced a private member’s bill banning floor-crossing by Members of Parliament. His proposal, requiring MPs who leave their party to either resign and contest a by-election or sit as independents, was included in a list of demands issued by NDP leader Jack Layton in October 2005, in exchange for continued NDP support of the Liberal minority government. After David Emerson’s controversial decision to cross the floor, he has revived this idea.

In the federal election of 2008, Stoffer received 24,290 votes or 61.5 per cent of the total votes cast. He was more than 16,000 votes ahead of the candidate in second place.

In 2010, Maclean’s magazine named him “Most Collegial” in its annual Parliamentarians of the Year awards. This was the second consecutive year that Stoffer received the award, which is voted on by fellow MPs.

During the 2003 NDP leadership convention, Stoffer was the campaign co-chair to Lorne Nystrom, a former long serving NDP MP from Saskatchewan. Days before the leadership convention, Stoffer let it be known to the media that his second ballot intention was to move to support Manitoba MP Bill Blaikie.
