FLAURIE SCOTT, NEW P.C. ENVIRONMENT CRITIC

For Immediate Release
August 24th, 2005

Today, Progressive Conservative Party Leader John Tory announced changes to the official opposition’s critic portfolios. Haliburton-Victoria-Brock MPP Laurie Scott was named as the new critic for the Ministry of the Environment.

“I am excited by this new opportunity,” Laurie Scott said. “The most precious resource we have, and the legacy we will leave our children is our environment. It is up to each of us to act as responsible stewards and to treat our environment with respect.”

In her role as Environmental Critic, Laurie Scott will be responsible for holding the government to account for their policies to protect Ontario’s air, land and water.

“I come from a part of the province where it is a natural thing for people to want to act as stewards of the environment. Fleming College is at the leading edge of environmental research and education,” Laurie said. “Stewardship programs and environmental education were just some of the things that the Frost Centre was famous for. I will be asking Minister Broten what her government is doing to replace those programs.”
