Huron-Bruce MP Ben Lobb has been named deputy critic of transport in the Conservative Shadow Cabinet.
Leader of the opposition Rona Ambrose announced the shadow cabinet today.
Lobb will be tasked with ensuring the Liberal Government is held accountable for transportation programs and policies. That includes working with the provinces, municipalities and stakeholders and keeping a close eye on projects that build and maintain roads, bridges, ports, airports and railways.
"This critic role reflects key priorities not only for Huron-Bruce, but throughout Ontario and across Canada," says Lobb. "It is an honour, and I plan to work with my colleagues as well as stakeholders to bring to the forefront areas of concern within the transport file."
The new agriculture critic comes from western Canada. Chris Warkentin is from the riding of Grand Prarie - Mackenzie. And former Conservative Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz is now the critic for international trade.
Other critic appointments include Lisa Raitt in finance and Tony Clement in Foreign Affairs.
