Barlow reappointed as Conservative Shadow Minister for Agriculture, Agri-Food and Food Security

Conservative Leader Pierre Pollieve announcing his shadow cabinet this week.

Pollieve tapping Alberta MP John Barlow as the Shadow Minister for Agriculture, Agri-Food and Food Security.

Barlow saying he's pleased to be back in the role.

"I think it is an affirmation from the new leader recognizing the work that we have done in the agriculture file over the last couple of years. Certainly, my team and I, we're very passionate about the industry. Not only agriculture, but agri food, processing, the value chain and supply chain issues."

He says there's a lot of work to be done on the ag file, noting that the Liberal government doesn't seem to recognize the fire power that agriculture is for the economy, and is putting policies in place that are putting farmer's at a competitive disadvantage.
