The Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet in Canada is composed of members of the main Opposition party responsible for holding the Government to account and for developing and disseminating the party's policy positions. Members of the Official Opposition are generally referred to as Opposition Critics, but the term Shadow Minister (which is generally used in other Westminster systems) is also used. The Conservative Party of Canada is currently serving as the Official Opposition in the 43rd Parliament. The party is led by Andrew Scheer, who was selected in May 2017. The Shadow Cabinet was announced on November 29, 2019.[1]
By Shadow Cabinet[edit]
Following the 2019 federal election, held on October 21, 2019, the Conservative Party gained seats, but remained as the Official Opposition, while the governing Liberals formed a minority government. The Conservative Party is led by Andrew Scheer, who was elected as party leader in May 2017.
Andrew Scheer[edit]
Scheer II (February 1, 2020 – present)[edit]
Scheer made changes to his Shadow Cabinet as a result of various members of his caucus announcing their candidacy for the party's leadership. Under caucus rules, MPs running for party leadership had to resign their critic positions.[2]
Scheer I (November 29, 2019 – January 31, 2020)[edit]
