The Federal Conservative party has named a Saskatchewan MP as the Official Opposition Critic for Agriculture and Agri-Food.
Cypress Hills-Grasslands MP David Anderson moves into the role.
His experience includes not only being a farmer, but 16 years in Parliament where he also served as a Parliamentary Secretary for the Canadian Wheat Board.
Anderson says he’s honored to serve as Conservative Agriculture Critic adding that strong Canadian agriculture means a stronger Canada.
He notes the challenge is to get the government to understand that.
