Huron-Bruce MP named deputy critic for transport
November 20, 2015
Newly re-elected Huron-Bruce MP Ben Lobb has been appointed deputy critic for transport.
That was part of the announcement of the Conservative party's shadow cabinet, released Friday by Conservative interim leader Rona Ambrose.
“This critic role reflects key priorities not only for Huron-Bruce, but throughout Ontario and across Canada,” said 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.”
Lobb will be tasked with ensuring that the newly-elected Liberal government is held accountable for transportation programs and policies that include: working with the provinces, municipalities and stakeholders to support our economy, and protecting and creating jobs across Canada with respect to transport, as well as keeping a close eye on projects that build and maintain roads, bridges, ports, airports and railways.
The Huron-Bruce MP previously served as chairman of the Standing Committee on Health and as a member of numerous committees including Human Resources, Skills, Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities, Public Safety and National Security, Veterans Affairs and Agriculture and Agri-Food.
Lobb will be sworn in for the third time, Dec. 1. The House of Commons is set to commence Dec. 3, and the first order of business will be electing a new speaker.
