Renouf supported Progressive Conservative leader Malcolm Hollett in opposing Joey Smallwood's 1959 motion against John Diefenbaker in 1957 regarding a dispute on the terms of union with Canada. He was defeated by John R. O'Dea when he ran for reelection to the assembly later that year. He was reelected in 1962 but defeated in 1966.
