New government House leader

New government House leader

For the first time in Canadian history, a woman has been appointed to the post of government House leader. Waterloo MP and Minister of Small Business and Tourism Bardish Chagger takes over the job of leading the government's agenda through Parliament from Dominic LeBlanc, who remains in the fisheries portfolio he assumed after Hunter Tootoo's resignation in the spring.
