Municipal Affairs Critic

Ernie Hardeman appointed official opposition critic for Municipal Affairs and Housing

TORONTO - Ernie Hardeman has been appointed official opposition critic for Municipal Affairs and Housing. 

The Oxford County MPP was asked to take on the position by Interim Progressive Conservative Leader Jim Wilson based on Hardeman's experience as Associate Minister of Municipal Affairs -- Rural and his involvement in municipal politics. 
 
Ernie says he is looking forward to the position. 

"It's a bit of a change up from what we've been doing. Obviously starting off with the agriculture and being critic there, I mean, as much as I enjoyed that, for the next little while, it's just going to be the same as it's been for the last little while so I thought a new experience and a new surrounding was a good idea."

"[the positions] change from election to election so we filled out a form as to what we would like to be and I had two choices and I got one of them."

He says his other choice was to remain Agriculture critic. 

 
Hardeman says it's important the government respects municipalities and understands that all levels of government are being funded by the same taxpayer.
