Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre appointed a local MP as a shadow minister last week.
Poilievre named Tamara Jansen, MP for Cloverdale—Langley City, shadow minister for Pacific economic development June 30.
“I am humbled by the confidence Pierre Poilievre has placed in me to serve as shadow minister for Pacific economic development,” Jansen said in a statement sent out to media.
She said the government needs to work to create better conditions for businesses so entrepreneurs can “invest, innovate, grow, and create good-paying jobs.”
Jansen noted that B.C. has a lot of potential to help turn the economic tide in the right direction.
“We are home to world-class entrepreneurs, abundant natural resources, thriving small businesses, and direct access to the fastest-growing markets in the Indo-Pacific,” she noted. “My focus will be on strengthening competitiveness, boosting productivity, expanding trade, and removing the barriers that hold Canadians back.”
As shadow minister, Jansen plans to meet with those who “power the economy,” including: farmers, foresters, miners, fishers, manufacturers, technology leaders, Indigenous partners, and small businesses across the province.
“When businesses succeed, Canadians benefit through stronger paycheques, increased investment, and a more affordable future.”
