KAMLOOPS — Conservative leader Andrew Scheer has announced his shadow cabinet, which includes Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod as the critic for Natural Resources.
“I am stepping into this role as the crisis in the softwood lumber industry continues to unfold,” McLeod said in a news release. “At least 20 mills have been forced to shut down or curtail production. As a result, more than 4,000 people across 27 communities in B.C. are at this moment, out of work. This does not include the thousands of contractors and small businesses that have been affected indirectly.
“Yet, Canada still has no softwood lumber agreement with the United States, and Canadian companies are facing devasting tariffs,” said McLeod. “Justin Trudeau has failed to make good on his promise to resolve the dispute.”
McLeod says she is grateful for the time she’s spent as the Shadow Minister for Indigenous and Northern Affairs.
