Kurek Appointed Vice-Chair of Environment and Sustainable Development Committee

Battle River—Crowfoot Member of Parliament Damien C. Kurek was appointed vice-chair of the Environment and Sustainable Development Committee.

“I’m looking forward to being able to represent the views of Battle River—Crowfoot and rural Alberta on this committee as the vice-chair. From fighting the carbon tax to promoting technological and innovative solutions to environmental challenges, I am ready to do the practical work to ensure that the committee functions efficiently,” Kurek said of the appointment.

“The goals of the Conservative team on the committee largely come from the feedback I’ve received from constituents and folks across the country who want pragmatic and practical work on all things related to the environment.”

The appointment comes in addition to his existing role on the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy, and Ethics. In addition to its current study on Access to Information (ATIPs), the Ethics committee was responsible for bringing the WE Charity and SNC Lavalin scandals to light.

“Conservatives are working hard to hold the Liberal Government to account, and committees are a big part of that,” M.P. Kurek stated.
