The Conservative Party of B.C. has released its Shadow Cabinet, featuring the names of some local representatives.

The party said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna Mission, would serve as the Critic for Economic Development, while Kristina Loewen, MLA for Kelowna Centre, was tapped as the new Critic for Prosperity and Social Development.

“Members of the Shadow Cabinet have conviction and are incredibly knowledgeable about their portfolios and are ready to hold the NDP Government to account: Larry Neufeld on Energy, Anna Kindy on Healthcare, Gavin Dew on Economic Development, Ward Stamer on Forestry, Lynne Block on Education, and the steady hand of Peter Milobar on Finance, these people know their stuff and are ready for the challenge,” Conservative Party of B.C. Leader, Kerry-Lynne Findlay, stated.

“The B.C. Conservative team is more united than ever, and I am proud to have the support of the other leadership contestants including Peter Milobar. Together, we will stand up for British Columbians against the dishonesty and incompetence of the NDP, and prepare to form government after the next election.”
