Manitoba Legislative Assembly

  • Feb 1988 - Feb 1999

  Executive Assistant to the Member of the Legislative Assembly representing the constituency of Saint-Boniface. My role was political and I focused on preparing the MLA for committees sittings, question period and addressing constituents concerns and assisting them with their problems. I would also ensure awareness of the prevailing opinion of the constituents and discuss these with the MLA. In this function, I also did research for the areas to which the MLA was Opposition Critic and supporting the caucus and its decisions, and developing expertise in given subject areas. Show less
