He was re-elected by a greater margin in the 1958 provincial election, although the Liberals lost power at the provincial level. He was returned by comfortable margins in the elections of 1959 and 1962, but defeated PC challenger Gabriel Girard by only 165 votes in the 1966 election. In the 1969 election, he lost to Girard by 463 votes as Liberal support plummeted in the province. During his time in office, he worked to establish chicken and turkey producer boards in the province. Tanchak was chairman of the Manitoba Turkey Marketing Board and the Canadian Turkey Marketing Association. He died in Winnipeg at the age of 78. (en)
