Education, Early Learning and Culture Minister Doug Currie, MLA for District 11 Charlottetown-Parkdale, has announced he is leaving provincial politics after 11 years of elected public service.
As an MLA, Minister Currie served in five ministerial roles, providing leadership in numerous key areas such as health, education, early childhood development, social services, the Office of the Attorney General, justice, culture, and labour.
He says that after more than a decade in public life he has decided it is time to begin to explore other opportunities.
Currie’s resignation is effective immediately. Alan McIsaac will be the acting Education, Early Learning and Culture Minister until an appointment is made
