Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MPP Rick Byers appointed Parliamentary Assistant to Ontario’s Minister of Finance

Rick Byers is sworn in as the Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MPP.

Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MPP Rick Byers says he is very pleased to be appointed as Parliamentary Assistant (PA) to Ontario’s Minister of Finance. MPP Byers was sworn into the position at Queen’s Park.

Parliamentary Assistants work with ministers in carrying out their duties and supporting them as required including special projects and assignments. They also play a key role in building relationships and communicating government initiatives across the province. MPP Byers says his career experience in the financial markets makes him a good fit for this role.
