The new Conservative opposition leader Erin O’Toole has tapped Rosemarie Falk to be in his shadow cabinet.
Falk, the MP for Battlefords-Lloydminster, has been named the Conservative shadow minister for seniors. She will be the critic shadowing Liberal minister of seniors Deb Schulte.
News of the announcement of the critics roles was made Tuesday morning. She is one of four MPs from Saskatchewan named to the shadow cabinet: Warren Steinley has been named critic for economic development and internal trade, Gary Vidal has been named critic for indigenous services and former Conservative leader Andrew Scheer is named critic for infrastructure and communities.
This is just the latest round of announcements of MPs responsibilities by O’Toole since taking over as leader in August. He previously announced his leadership team including the appointment of Manitoba MP Candice Bergen as deputy leader.
In a statement on Facebook, Falk said she was honoured to take on her new responsibilities in Parliament.
“I am honoured to accept the role of Shadow Minister for Seniors. I will resolutely advocate for Canada’s seniors who have and continue to make great contributions to our country.
I am looking forward to working alongside Erin O’Toole and the whole team. Lots of work ahead!”
