The Tories announced Wednesday that MP Pierre Poilievre will leave his role as shadow finance minister to become the party’s critic for jobs and industry in the latest shuffle of critic roles by the Conservatives leadership.

Poilievre will be replaced by veteran B.C. MP Ed Fast, who served as minister for international trade under former Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
