Subsequently, the Liberals did not oppose him.' In 1949, Weir moved to the new riding of Portage—Neepawa and would continue to win re-election until his defeat in the 1957 general election, the first in which he shed the Liberal-Progressive label and ran as a straight Liberal. Though retaining the Liberal-Progressive designation, Weir supported the Liberal government when it came to power in 1935 and subsequently sat with the Liberal Party caucus. He served as Chief Government Whip from 1945 to 1957 as well as parliamentary assistant to Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent from 1953 to 1957.
