‘It is just a token appointment’: MP responds to appointment of prairies representative
The Trudeau government’s latest cabinet shuffle will see the creation of a new cabinet post – special representative to the prairies but the member of parliament (MP) for Prince Albert thinks it’s too little too late and signals a plan for a spring election.
Speaking with paNOW, Randy Hoback had some kind words to say about Winnipeg MP Jim Carr, calling him respectable, easy to work with, and a good person to bring issues to the cabinet table. Hoback however also acknowledged Carr is essentially a minister without a portfolio which means he has no staff, no bureaucracy to work with, and no budget.
“It is just a token appointment which is disappointing for a guy of Jim Carr’s makeup and abilities,” Hoback said.
