One of the country’s longest-serving premiers says he’s not sure how history will remember him, but he has a lot that’s he’s personally proud of.

Dwight Ball will be stepping down as Premier once a new Liberal Party leader is chosen August 3.

Ball says initiatives to help grow the province’s agriculture and technology sectors are two items that come immediately to mind.

The province has done a lot with very little financial means says Ball.

The relationship with other provinces has “never been better” according to the Premier.

He cites Quebec as an example, along with “clean growth” opportunities with the other Atlantic provinces by allowing them to come off coal energy.
