In 1953, he became leader of the British Columbia Liberal Party just before a provincial election. He defeated Tilly Rolston in the riding of Vancouver Point Grey, but only three other Liberal candidates were elected to the BC legislature.
The Arthur Laing Bridge, linking Vancouver to Sea Island in Richmond, is named in his honour.
He eventually went back to federal politics and served in the cabinets of prime ministers Lester B. Pearson and Pierre Trudeau.
