One day after announcing the Conservative Party of B.C. Caucus leadership team, party leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay has announced the new Official Opposition critic roles and the region’s two MLAs are returning to their previous posts.

Kootenay-Rockies MLA Pete Davis (pictured right above)  is returned as Critic for Mining and Critical Minerals and Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Scott McInnis (left) is reassigned a Critic for Indigenous Relations.

“Members of the Shadow Cabinet have conviction and are incredibly knowledgeable about their portfolios and are ready to hold the NDP Government to account: Larry Neufeld on Energy, Anna Kindy on Healthcare, Gavin Dew on Economic Development, Ward Stamer on Forestry, Lynne Block on Education, and the steady hand of Peter Milobar on Finance, these people know their stuff and are ready for the challenge,” said Findlay, who does hold a seat in the Legislature.

“The B.C. Conservative team is more united than ever, and I am proud to have the support of the other leadership contestants including Peter Milobar. Together, we will stand up for British Columbians against the dishonesty and incompetence of the NDP and prepare to form government after the next election.”

Interim Leader of the Opposition Heather Maahs will be driving home a strong conservative message and pushing back against the NDP, a party media release stated.

“I am honoured to serve in this role,” said Maahs, “A strong opposition in the Legislature is crucial for democracy, and I know that the entire B.C. Conservative Caucus is committed to working tirelessly on behalf of British Columbians.”
