Peter Albert Dueck

Peter Albert Dueck (July 5, 1923 – February 19, 2015) was a politician and cabinet minister in the Canadian province of British Columbia.

Dueck served as a cabinet minister under premiers Bill Vander Zalm and Rita Johnston.

He resigned from cabinet on May 30, 1990, amidst a growing expenses scandal in his ministry related to the deputy minister, Stan Dubas.

Dueck became an Independent MLA in February 1992, then resigned in November 1993 which created a by-election opportunity for new Socred leader Grace McCarthy to gain a seat in the legislature.

Instead, the byelection saw rookie Liberal candidate and future cabinet minister Mike de Jong defeat McCarthy.
