Overview
- The NDP, which announced critic roles Friday, kept Don Davies as parliamentary leader and named Heather McPherson House leader.
- Avi Lewis has no Commons seat and will focus on rebuilding, and he will serve as critic for intergovernmental affairs and a new cost of living role.
- McPherson resumes foreign affairs and trade, Leah Gazan takes Indigenous affairs and Arctic sovereignty, Jenny Kwan adds justice, and Alexandre Boulerice keeps his files as he weighs his future.
- With only six MPs and no official party status, the NDP lacks guaranteed question period time and cannot sit on House committees.
- Don Davies said party debt is expected to sit near $9.5 million after HST and local campaign rebates.
