Former PC leader David Brazil is reflecting on the highs and lows of a four-decades long career, 13 years of which have been spent as an MHA.

Brazil is stepping down from his position as Conception Bay-East Bell Island MHA on December 29 to focus on his health.

Brazil says he has a lot of good memories, and some “frustrating” ones too, but ultimately he has “no regrets.”

He says he has received about 2,000 messages from people he has worked with congratulating him and reflecting on what has been accomplished.
