Dreeshen named Deputy Shadow Minister for Agriculture and Agri-Food
Earl Dreeshen, Member of Parliament for Red Deer – Mountain View has been named as the Conservative Party of Canada’s Deputy Shadow Minister for Agriculture and Agri-Food.
In a press release issued Friday, party officials say Dreeshen has been involved in advocating for the agriculture community, producers and value added manufacturers for ten years as Member of Parliament and for decades prior as a family farmer and community leader in Central Alberta.
Dreeshen is said to be hoping for a continued focus on agricultural education by showing an increasingly urbanized society the role of agriculture that many Canadians take for granted.
Previously serving on the International Trade Committee, Dreeshen will continue his work alongside his colleagues with trade issues facing agriculture.
