Ministerial Portfolios: Leader Jack Layton

New Democrats Dept: "In this shadow cabinet I have struck a balance between the experience and the new energy of New Democrats elected on May 2," Layton said at a news conference. "It's an amazing group of Canadians.", according to CBC. Layton said his team of critics will lead the NDP's efforts to hold Harper's majority Conservative government to account and nDP Leader Jack Layton announced his team of critics Thursday morning in Ottawa, mostly keeping his veteran MPs in their previous roles but giving 20 newcomers a chance to shine. He said the shadow cabinet is designed to match the ministerial portfolios in Prime Minister Stephen Harper's cabinet, which was announced last week. With 43 MPs, however, Layton's shadow cabinet is bigger than the 39-member Harper cabinet. As reported in the news.
