Flin Flon MLA Tom Lindsey has been named the NDP’s new Caucus Chair. He says he’s excited to have an expanded role. He says from his understanding it’s chairing the meetings of Caucus and making sure that the business that they as a group need to get done gets done behind the scenes. Hs adds sometimes he’ll be the spokesperson for Caucus, other times not depending on what issue is being talked about and then there’s administration duties, a link between people that work for the Caucus and the Caucus and the leaders office.
In making the announcement Interim Leader Flor Marcelino says Tom Lindsey is a lifelong advocate who fights for the priorities of working people.
