He was a Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1975 to 1995, and served as a cabinet minister in the government of David Peterson. BackgroundO'Neil was educated at Peterborough Teachers' College (c. 1907 as Peterborough Normal School), and worked as a teacher and real estate broker before entering political life. He was married to Donna Grace (McColl) and they raised two children, David and Catherine.[1] PoliticsHe was elected to the Ontario legislature in the 1975 provincial election, defeating the Progressive Conservative candidate by 659 votes in the eastern Ontario riding of Quinte.[1] He was re-elected by a much greater margin in the 1977 provincial election,[2] and in the elections of 1981,[3] 1985,[4] 1987,[5] and 1990.[6] The Liberals under David Peterson formed a minority government following the 1985 election, and O'Neil was appointed as Minister of Industry, Trade and Technology on June 26, 1985.[7] In 1987, O'Neil was named Minister of Tourism and Recreation.[8] Following a cabinet shuffle, he was named as Minister of Mines on August 2, 1989.[9] He also became Minister of Culture and Communications on June 5, 1990.[10] In addition, O'Neil served as Peterson's regional minister for eastern Ontario. The Liberals were defeated by the New Democratic Party in the 1990 provincial election. O'Neil was re-elected and served as his party's critic for Tourism and Recreation for the entirety of the next parliament, and did not run for re-election in 1995, choosing instead to retire from politics and return to a business career in real estate.
