PRIME MINISTER NAMES PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARIES
January 13, 2003
Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien announced today the appointment of
Parliamentary Secretaries to assist Ministers with their parliamentary and
portfolio responsibilities.
"Parliamentary Secretaries make an essential contribution to
government," said the Prime Minister. "They are men and women who
represent all regions of Canada and bring to the House of Commons their unique
perspectives and varied experience. They contribute to the work of government by
helping Ministers carry out their parliamentary business. I am delighted that
such an outstanding group will be assisting the Ministry as we move ahead with
our ambitious agenda as set forth in the Speech from the Throne."
While some Parliamentary Secretaries have been reappointed, other members
have been appointed for the first time. The Prime Minister expressed his thanks
to the outgoing Parliamentary Secretaries for the quality of counsel and
assistance they provided the Ministry during their tenure.
A list of Parliamentary Secretaries is attached.
