MACLEOD APPOINTED VICE-CHAIR TO POWERFUL QUEEN’S PARK COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC APPOINTMENTS December 17, 2007 (Queen’s Park) - Lisa MacLeod, PC MPP for Nepean-Carleton was unanimously chosen to Vice-Chair the powerful Queen’s Park Committee on Government Agencies, which scrutinizes public appointments. This multi-partisan support comes on the heels of MacLeod’s successful resolution on making Queen’s Park more family friendly which also received the rare all-party unanimous consent of an opposition initiative. MacLeod is pleased to have the respect of her colleagues on all sides of the legislature. “To be named an Opposition Vice-Chair with unanimous support of this politically sensitive committee is a real privilege and I am looking forward to the challenge”, said MacLeod. The Government Agencies Committee reviews and reports on the operation of all agencies, boards and commissions to which the Lieutenant Governor in Council makes some or all of the appointments. Such agencies include the Ontario Trillium Foundation and the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO). Earlier in the week MacLeod secured the support of all MPP’s at Queen’s Park to form an all party panel to make Queen’s Park more family friendly. -30- |
