Mount Royal MP Anthony Housefather has been named Parliamentary Secretary to Filomena Tassi, the Minister of Public Services and Procurement, by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The ministry “serves all federal departments and agencies as their central purchasing agent, property manager, treasurer, accountant, pay and pension administrator, integrity adviser and linguistic authority.”
Housefather stated that he was “incredibly pleased that the Prime Minister asked me to serve in this role.
“This Ministry is responsible for procuring everything from the vaccines, antivirals and Personal Protective Equipment we need to fight COVID-19 to fighter jets and ships,” he added. “It is also responsible for Canada Post, the National Capital Commission including the renovations to Centre Block, and multiple other important activities of government.”
Housefather had also worked as Tassi’s Parliamentary Secretary when she was Minister of Labour.
“I am truly excited to be given the opportunity to continue working with Minister Filomena Tassi,” the Mount Royal MP stated. “We worked very effectively together at Labour and I know we will be a great team in this new and exciting portfolio.”
