Waterloo MP Bardish Chagger announced as new Government House Leader

Waterloo MP Bardish Chagger was announced as the new Government House Leader Friday afternoon, the first woman to hold that position.

She will continue as Minister of Small Business and Tourism.

Chagger is replacing Dominic LeBlanc, who remains as fisheries minister.

LeBlanc has been handling double duty as House leader and fisheries minister since Hunter Tootoo stepped down from the latter job.

Tootoo resigned from cabinet in May to go into treatment for alcoholism and has since acknowledged he’d been involved in a consensual but inappropriate relationship in the workplace.
