Stephanie Kusie appointed as Shadow Minister for Transport

September 8th, 2020

Calgary, AB —

Today, Stephanie Kusie, the Member of Parliament for Calgary Midnapore, was asked to serve as the Official Opposition Shadow Minister for Transport.

“I am honoured to be asked by our new Leader Erin O’Toole to serve in his Shadow Cabinet,” said Kusie.

“Transportation is paramount to our economic recovery from COVID-19 and the Liberal government’s inaction in this portfolio is jeopardizing the entire transportation industry,” she explained. “The government needs to get Canadians – and the country - moving again in a safe and secure way.”

In this new portfolio, MP Kusie will continue to listen to Canadians and the industry to find responsible, common sense solutions. She will hold the Liberal government to account; with the goal of ensuring that all parts of the transportation system across Canada work together effectively in a post-Covid-19 world.

“Canadians need to have faith that transportation in Canada is safe and secure as we recover from COVID-19,” says Kusie. “It also needs to be efficient. I look forward to doing my part as a member of the Official Opposition to address key challenges created by the pandemic, including getting our economy back on track."
