A new Liberal front bench

by DavidAkin on Mon 04 Dec 2006 12:18 PM EST | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Liberal leader Stephane Dion held his first caucus meeting this morning and, shortly after, we received the new seating plan for the House of Commons with the revamped front bench. We understand that Dion has not yet decided on new “Critics” — Opposition critics earn an extra several thousand dollars a year for their responsibilities — but may do that later in the week. Here’s what it will look like in Question Period today. We understand that all those whom Dion bested will get a chance to fire at the Tories.
