"There comes a time when you have to decide whether you will run again, and that time for me is now. In fairness to the Souris - Moose Mountain Conservative board and to the constituency, I felt it important to announce my decision early in this term," said Ed Komarnicki on February 28.
"This constituency is strongly Conservative and the interest of candidates to replace me, I'm sure, will be high, and so I felt I should give plenty of time for those that would be interested to set their plans in order."
"To the extent I can, I will be available to help in an orderly transition," said Komarnicki.
"I can say it's been a great experience for me and a great pleasure to represent the constituents of Souris - Moose Mountain, and to make specific representations on behalf of constituents."
"It has also been great to be a part of a government and to be involved in the many infrastructure investments throughout the constituency."
"I look forward to continuing to represent Souris - Moose Mountain until the next General Election. This is one of the great honours and privileges that I will always be thankful for," concluded Komarnicki.
