MPP Ted Arnott Appointed Conservative
Critic for Tourism and Recreation

Waterloo-Wellington MPP Ted Arnott took on the responsibility of being Conservative spokesman for Tourism and Recreation on September 28, 2004, the day newly elected PC Leader John Tory announced his team of Caucus Critics.

“I am delighted to have been chosen to serve in this capacity. I asked to be assigned this particular responsibility within our Caucus,” Mr. Arnott said. “Tourism and Recreation are vitally important in Waterloo-Wellington, and in rural and urban communities throughout Ontario.”

“I have some knowledge of Ontario’s world-class reputation and potential to draw more tourists because I know what we have to offer in Waterloo-Wellington. We have wonderful natural attractions, small towns that represent Ontario’s spirit and history, and strong vibrant urban centres. That mix gives us, and other areas throughout the province, an advantage and the ability to aim for yearly increases in the number of people who visit, the duration of their stays, and in the amounts they spend,” he continued.

Mr. Arnott is also one of the presiding officers or Assistant Speakers in the Legislature, holding the position of First Deputy Chair of the Committee of the Whole House.

“I look forward to the challenges of this new role, of holding the Liberal Government accountable. This is an exciting opportunity,” Mr. Arnott concluded.
