Two London Liberal MPs have been chosen to work on Parliament Hill, following Prime Minister Mark Carney’s announcement of a new parliamentary secretary team on Thursday.

London Centre MP Peter Fragiskatos becomes secretary to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, while London West MP Arielle Kayabaga becomes deputy leader of the Government in the House of Commons.

Parliament secretaries assist ministers and secretaries of state.

“Canada’s new parliamentary secretary team will deliver on the government’s mandate for change, working collaboratively with all parties in Parliament to build the strongest economy in the G7, advance a new security and economic partnership with the United States, and help Canadians get ahead,” said Carney in a news release.
