It's not often that a political leader willingly gives up power and control without being pushed or affected by scandal. But this week, that's exactly what happened with New Democratic Party Leader Gary Burrill. He announced he would be stepping aside to allow the party to continue under new leadership. He will be staying on until the new person is chosen by the party and he will remain as the MLA for Halifax Chebucto. In this conversation, we discuss his decision, his turn of phrase, the strength of the caucus and the reason he ends every interview with the phrase "It's been my privilege".
