Wayne L. Marston (born February 27, 1947, in Sisson Ridge, New Brunswick)[1] is a former New Democratic Party (NDP) politician in Canada.
He lost his seat in the 2015 election to the Liberal candidate, and former Hamilton mayor, Bob Bratina.
Before he was elected to House of Commons, Marston served as President of the Hamilton and District Labour Council for 11 years.
He was also the NDP candidate in the 1996 Hamilton East by-election, triggered by Copps' resignation over her government's failure to repeal the unpopular goods and services tax as she and her party had promised in 1993.
Copps also lost personal standing within the Liberal Party after the by-election, and she was eventually lost to fellow Liberal MP Tony Valeri in a pitched battle for the Liberal nomination in the new Hamilton East—Stoney Creek riding when it was created out of her former Hamilton East riding and Valeri's former Stoney Creek riding in 2004.
