Miller was re-elected by an increased margin in the 2003 provincial election, although the Progressive Conservatives were reduced to only 24 out of 103 seats in the legislature as the Liberals won a commanding majority. In 2004, he supported John Tory in the latter's successful bid to succeed Eves as leader of the Progressive Conservative Party.
