Lyle Dean MacWilliam (born 31 July 1949) was a member of the Canadian House of Commons from 1988 to 1993. His background included martial arts instruction, plus market research and its related education.[2]
Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, the son of John Michael MacWilliam and Doris Louise Coghill,[3] MacWilliam studied at Simon Fraser University.[1] In 1971, he married Arlene Leslie Sundvick.[3]
MacWilliam ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in 1983. He was elected to represent Okanagan North in the assembly as a New Democratic Party member in a 1984 by-election held following the death of Donald James Campbell, but he was defeated when he ran for reelection in 1986.[4] He entered federal politics after winning the 1988 federal election at the Okanagan—Shuswap electoral district for the New Democratic Party. He served in the 34th Canadian Parliament[2] but lost to Darrel Stinson of the Reform Party in the 1993 federal election.[5]
He then joined the Liberal Party under which he campaigned at Okanagan—Shuswap in the 1997 federal election.[2] He was again defeated by Stinson, placing second.[6]
