On Wednesday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced which MPs will serve as critics in his ‘shadow cabinet’ when Parliament returns next week.
Parry Sound—Muskoka MP Scott Aitchison, who served as Huntsville mayor from 2014 to 2019 and has represented the federal riding of Parry Sound—Muskoka since 2019, will stay as housing critic.
Aitchison unsuccessfully ran against Poilievre for the party’s leadership in 2022, coming in last among five candidates after then-Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown was disqualified.
Aitchison is one of 74 shadow cabinet members hand-picked by Poilievre, who lost his Ottawa area seat in the April 28, 2025 election and has appointed former Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer as interim party leader in the House.
Poilievre is expected to try to regain his seat in a by-election in the rural Alberta riding of Battle River-Crowfoot. Its MP, Damien Kurek, agreed to step down to allow Poilievre to run.
