Furey says the province is a sadder place and he praised Bragg for proudly and passionately serving the people of his district and the province, “filling his roles beyond reproach or compare.”
Speaker Derek Bennett says for all Members of the House of Assembly, Derrick Bragg was “not just a colleague, but a friend to all. His cheerful smile will be missed and his legacy of devoted public service will forever be etched in the history” of the legislature.
