OTTAWA – The Hon. Rona Ambrose, Leader of the Official Opposition and Interim Leader of the Conservative Party, announced today the Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet. With the announcement, Tony Clement has been named critic for Foreign Affairs.
“It is my honour to accept this role, and I look forward to holding the new Government to account on the many challenging issues in the Foreign Affairs portfolio. I also look forward to working alongside the dynamic team assembled by our leader,” said MP Clement.
Over 5.6 million Canadians voted for the Conservative Party on October 19, leading to one of the strongest oppositions to a majority government in Canadian history. The Conservatives will form a strong opposition and ensure hard-working Canadians and their families are protected and the country’s finances kept in check.
“I believe the team we have assembled will be the strongest Official Oppositions this country has ever seen,” said Ms. Ambrose. “I am proud to lead this team of talented and respected individuals from across Canada. Together, we will ask the Government the tough questions and hold them to account.”
