Well that's interesting!
Since the 49th assembly, Dinn has been sitting in the opposition benches in the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly as the New Democratic Party MHA for St John's Centre, while his brother Paul has also been sitting in the opposition... as the Progressive Conservative MHA for Topsail—Paradise.
