Kinew says if the NDP win the election, Doer would serve as a volunteer adviser on Canada-U. S. trade.

Doer was Canada’s ambassador to the United States for several years after retiring as premier.

He says he’s happy to help future governments, and says he relied on former Progressive Conservative premier Duff Roblin for advice on the expansion of the Red River Floodway that protects Winnipeg.
