MPP Randy Pettapiece says his main responsibility will continue to be to the people of Perth Wellington, despite new responsibilities at Queen's Park.
Pettapiece is now the official opposition critic to the Minister of Community and Social Services.
Pettapiece says he will immediately highlight the need for more developmental services funding, and work to ensure local families have the support they need.
Earlier this year, Pettapiece called the Ombudsman to investigate a government promise to invest $810-million to help victims of autism and other disabilities.
He will remain as critic to the Minister for Seniors, the horse racing industry, and the all party Standing Committee on Government Agencies.
He is also the PC caucus regional member for South West Ontario.
“I have always advocated for seniors in Perth-Wellington, and over the last year, I have had the opportunity to support some of our local municipalities and organizations as they expand their programming for seniors,” says Pettapiece. “I’m very pleased that our new leader, Patrick Brown, has entrusted me with these files... However, this won’t change job number one: representing my constituents.”
