Percy held the riding for one term, serving as Finance Critic until retiring from elected life in 1997. At that point, he was appointed as the Stanley A. Milner Professor and Dean of the Alberta School of Business at the University of Alberta, a position he held until July 1, 2011.[1]

In 2019, Percy was named a member of the Blue Ribbon Panel on Alberta’s Finances by Alberta Premier Jason Kenney. The final report outlined 26 recommendations to improve Alberta's finances.[2]

Percy is married to Debby Carlson who was also a Liberal member in the Legislative Assembly at that time.
