As for what happens next, Fraser says that has yet to be determined.
Fraser says he has enjoyed his time in office, which included cabinet stints in Housing and Immigration. Fraser says federally he had the opportunity to fundamentally shift housing policy.
Fraser says there have been real positive change in his riding over his time in office, including the twinning of Highway 104, the building of Mulroney Hall at St. FX University, the Centre for Innovation and Health getting off the ground, money in place to clean up Boat Harbour, new libraries and performing arts centres, community centres repaired and retrofitted, as well as new transit sytems and active transportation trails.
