Prime Minister Names Parliamentary Secretaries
July 10, 1997
Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien today announced the appointment of Parliamentary
Secretaries to assist Ministers with their parliamentary and portfolio
responsibilities.
In addressing the challenges before the Government, the Prime Minister
has decided to have some Parliamentary Secretaries continue the assignments
they began during the previous mandate, while rotating the remaining assignments
among other members of Caucus.
"We have an excellent and talented Caucus that is representative of every
region and every walk of life in Canada," said the Prime Minister. "That
has enabled us to put together a team of Parliamentary Secretaries that
mirrors the breadth of Canadian society and combines fresh, new thinking
with valuable, solid experience."
A list of Parliamentary Secretaries is attached. The appointments are
effective immediately.
