Fraser served as Attorney General of British Columbia from 1990 to 1991.[1] After Premier Bill Vander Zalm's resignation in 1991, he was considered for interim leader of the party (and thus premier), but lost the caucus vote to Rita Johnston by 21–17.[2] During his time in the Legislature, he also served as Minister of Post-Secondary Education (1986) and Solicitor General of British Columbia (1989 to 1990).
Fraser died on May 23, 2024, at the age of 90.[3]
