Former Manitoba premier Greg Selinger leaves legislature for the last time
WINNIPEG — Former Manitoba premier Greg Selinger welled up in the legislature Wednesday as he said goodbye to his fellow politicians, ending 18 years of sometimes-tumultuous service.
He used his final speech to call for a more inclusive political system.
“Progress has been made, but I know we can make this place better for everyone, particularly (so that) those historically left out can be heard, seen and respected,” he said before pausing to collect himself.
It was a relatively quiet end for Selinger, 67, who has recently been seated in the back row of the Opposition NDP benches.
