During his tenure as mayor, he laid the groundwork for Moncton's ascension as a regional hub of economic activity. Rideout did not seek a third term in Parliament and left federal politics in 1997. Shortly afterwards, he was appointed to the Court of Queen's Bench of New Brunswick. He is still serving in that position.
