Retired army commander Andrew Leslie has been appointed parliamentary secretary to the minister of foreign affairs, and will take on "special responsibilities" for the crucial Canada-U.S. relations file.
A news release from the office of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Leslie, MP for the Ontario riding of Orléans, will play "a critical role in building ties with the new U.S. administration."
"As a retired lieutenant-general with years of experience working with the U.S., I know he has the necessary relationships and experience to help establish a constructive dialogue with the new U.S. administration," Trudeau said in a statement released Wednesday.
Leslie, who was first elected in 2015, currently serves as the chief government whip. He will assume his new duties as parliamentary secretary to Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland starting on Jan. 30.
