[edit] Current Member of Parliament
Its Member of Parliament is James Moore, a former broadcaster. He was first elected in 2000, and represents the Conservative Party of Canada. As of 2006, after the Conservative victory in the 2006 election, he is the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Works and Government Services. Because the minister, Michael Fortier, will be a Senator, Moore is expected to play a more active role in the House than other Parliamentary Secretaries.
