West Kootenay-Boundary MLA Katrine Conroy is now the Critic for Seniors and Long-Term Care as the result of a shadow cabinet change Wednesday.
“Today’s changes are a necessary step to ensure fairness and balance to our role and responsibilities as B.C.’s Official Opposition, as the leadership race gets underway,” B.C. NDP interim leader Dawn Blacksaid in a news release.
Four other critic responsibilities have been re-assigned, including Sue Hammell (Surrey-Green Timbers MLA) as the Health Services Critic, Kathy Corrigan (Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA) as the Public Safety and Solicitor General Critic, Doug Donaldson (Stikine MLA) as the Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Critic and Finance and Public Accounts Deputy Critic and Mable Elmore (Vancouver-Kensington MLA) as the Multiculturalism Critic and Children and Family Development and Childcare Deputy Critic.
