Local MPP Likes Party Leader Pick

The Progressive Conservative's have agreed on Vic Fedeli, 61, to lead them into this year's provincial election.

Fedeli replaces Patrick Brown, who resigned in the face of sexual misconduct allegations.

Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MPP Bill Walker says the Fedeli has carried a lot of responsibility in the party acting as energy critic and most recently finance critic.

Fedeli represents the northeastern Ontario riding of Nipissing and served as mayor of North Bay between 2003 and 2010.
