Passing of Former MLA Ted Malone

Hon. Tim McLeod: — Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I too would like to offer a few words of condolence, not only on behalf of the members of this Assembly but also on behalf of the Saskatchewan legal community, Mr. Speaker.

As we’ve heard, Edward Cyril Malone, known to many as Judge Malone or Ted, served as a member of this Legislative Assembly from 1973 to 1978, representing the constituency of Regina Lakeview. During his time in this Chamber he served with distinction as the leader of the opposition from 1976 to 1978.

Judge Malone graduated from the College of Law, University of Saskatchewan, in 1962 and established a respected legal practice in Regina. Throughout his years as a practitioner, he appeared before all levels of Saskatchewan courts and the Supreme Court of Canada, a testament to the quality of his legal work and the confidence that his clients placed in their legal counsel.

In 1980 Judge Malone was appointed to the District Court of Saskatchewan, and the following year to the Court of Queen’s Bench, where he served with honour until his retirement in 2012. As was indicated by the Premier, Mr. Speaker, beyond the courts of Saskatchewan, Judge Malone also served as a judge of the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada. During his three decades on the bench, Judge Malone presided over more than 30 jury trials, bringing to each case the same thoughtfulness, legal acumen, and commitment to the administration of justice that defined his career.

Mr. Speaker, as the Attorney General, I’d like to recognize Judge Malone’s significant contribution to our province’s justice system. To dedicate nearly 50 years of his life as both a lawyer and a judge is a profound commitment to justice and service to the people of Saskatchewan.

And so on behalf of all members of this Assembly and the Saskatchewan legal community, I wish to extend our sincere condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of the Hon. Judge Ted Malone.
