| Description | Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has stripped Maxime Bernier from his critic role in caucus after the Tory MP renewed his call to end Canada’s supply-management system.
Mr. Scheer announced late Tuesday that Mr. Bernier, his main rival in last year’s Conservative leadership race, was no longer the party’s critic for innovation, science and economic development.
“I have removed Maxime Bernier from the Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet, effective immediately,” Mr. Scheer wrote in a short statement.
Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux, currently the party’s science critic, will take over the role on an interim basis, Mr. Scheer said.
Mr. Bernier did not respond to a request for comment. |
