His 33 years in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly made him the longest continuous serving Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) in Nova Scotia history.

He formed his own political party,the Cape Breton Labour Party,to contest the 1984 provincial election. He served one-term as its leader,before the party disintegrated because of financial issues. He eventually joined the Liberal Party of Nova Scotia,and became a Liberal member of the legislature. In 1993,he became the Speaker of the House of Assembly.
