Opposition Leader Gerry Reid today thanked NDP Leader Jack Harris for his
contribution and commitment to the people of the province and political life
over the past 15 years. "I have the utmost respect for Jack Harris," said
Mr. Reid. "While Mr. Harris announced today that he will be stepping down in
the near future as Leader of the NDP Party, I look forward to continue
working with him in the House of Assembly over the coming months. His
contribution to the shaping of public policy and debate in the province has
been very valuable. I have dealt with Mr. Harris as both a government and
opposition member and have found his comments insightful and constructive.
"I have always respected the dedication and determination of Mr. Harris
as he brought forth the concerns of his constituents, and those of the
people of the province in general. As well, Mr. Harris always ensured that
his party’s views and policies were heard and promoted in the media and the
House of Assembly. I am certain that the NDP Party will have a tough time
filling Mr. Harris’ shoes once he leaves the legislature."
