Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has named the 71 critics and associate critics he’s tasked with holding the Liberal government to account, and his choices say a lot about the Conservatives’ strategy for the House of Commons, experts say.
It’s a long list. Poilievre has 51 critics, plus another 20 associate critics, squaring off against just 38 cabinet ministers.
Governments sometimes get accused of appointing bloated cabinets — and Poilievre could be inviting the same sort of criticism, said Conservative strategist Tim Powers.
Sounds like he’s giving a wide selection of his people a chance to rise to the occasion. Makes sense to see who makes the A-team.
