Manitoba’s Progressive Conservatives shuffled their shadow cabinet on the eve of the fall legislative sitting.
Fort Whyte MLA Obby Khan, who is a candidate for the party’s leadership next spring, is being replaced as finance critic by Midland MLA Lauren Stone, who also assumes responsibility as critic for Manitoba Hydro.
Morden-Winkler MLA Carrie Hiebert adds families to her critic’s portfolio, which includes housing, addictions and homelessness, as well as mental health.

Morden-Winkler MLA Carrie Hiebert, seen here during her swearing-in ceremony at the legislature last fall, is adding Families to her critic role in the PC’s shadow cabinet.
Selkirk MLA Richard Perchotte adds culture and heritage to his critic’s responsibilities for advanced education and training.
“The NDP’s failure to manage finances, protect vulnerable youth and build Manitoba communities demands accountability,” interim PC leader Wayne Ewasko said in a Tuesday news release, adding his party’s critics have an important role to play in holding the government to account.
“Education, justice, health care and a thriving economy that delivers strong social services for Manitoba families will continue to be top priorities as we focus on policies that bring progress back to our communities,” Ewasko said.
The fall legislative sitting begins Wednesday.
