On Tuesday, Premier Brian Pallister announced that he won’t be seeking re-election and that he’s stepping aside at the mid-point of this term.
MLA Brad Michaleski says the progressive conservative government has had a really strong team over the past five years and says he’s thankful to Pallister for all of the work he’s done and his commitment to the province.
Michaleski adds that Premier Brian Pallister’s announcement that he’s stepping down didn’t come as a surprise to him.
“Politicians don’t go on and on forever so I respect his decision to step down, and I wish him and his family all the best.”
Michaleski says having a new leader isn’t going to help or hurt the PC government.
“The party is still incredibly strong and focused on what we need to do, and this is just a natural progression.”
Pallister has been the party’s leader for nearly 10 years, and the premier for over five years.
