Arnotts new duty as opposition critic: to shadow McGuinty
Wellington-Halton Hills MPP Ted Arnott has been appointed official opposition critic to the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs.
In that new capacity, Arnott will be responsible for calling Premier Dalton McGuinty to account in his role as Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs. The premier assumed that portfolio when the cabinet was sworn in last week.
“I’m looking forward to the undertaking this new responsibility,” Arnott said. “I want to be constructive and fair, but also vocal and firm.”
It is also expected that Arnott will resume his former role of presiding officer (assistant speaker) when the Legislature reconvenes in November.
“As always, my responsibility to the people of Wellington-Halton Hills comes first,” Arnott concluded.
