WV MP lauded
for political skills

From page 1

Reynolds said he has been
taking the calls on justice sub-
jects on behalf of the party
since the sudden departure of
Okanzgan MP Jim Hart, who
had previously held the
Hart quit the caricus and the
party over the much-baily-

jooed, but since subdued
issue of Preston Manning's
Reform party leadership.

“T just try todo a good job
for my constituents,” said
Reynolds from the Sunshine
Coast where he was attending
a series of meetings with resi-
dents of his riding. “Whatever
they want me to do [li do.”

A Lions Bay resident,
Reynolds, 56, was fast a Social
Credit provincial environment
minister until °91 when he left

politics.

Before that he served as
Speaker of the provincial Iegis-
lature. He has also served two
terms as a Progressive
Conservative MP. His previous
Reform portfolios include fish-
cries and immigration critic.

“I’m having a good time,”
said Reynolds of his latest stint
in Ortawa.

Refarm House Leader
Langiey-Abbotsford MP
Randy White praised
Reynolds’ skills and experi-

nee. He said those factors led
him to give che North Shore
MP the nod.

“It (the appointmenr)
shows the skills and abilities of
John Reynolds,” said White.
“Good stuff rises to the top.

“As far as the opposition
goes, it’s one of the highest
profile (positions) in the
House of Commons because
of the size of the portfolio.

[

MP John Reynolds: “t
just try to doa good job
for my constituents.”

You gotta put people in there
who can handle that profile.”

Meanwhile, the Reform
party’s other White — North
Vancouver MP Ted ~ has not
fared nearly as well as his West
Vancouver counterpart. In his
second term or sixth year in
the party, White is the party's
direct democracy critic.

“I really couldn’t comment
on that (Reynolds’ appoint-
ment) but I know Ted likes his
role as direct democracy crit-
ic,” said White’s assistant
Graham Worth on behalf of his
vacationing boss.

Reynolds said the issues
most likely to occupy him in
his new position include the
Young Offenders Act, a review
of the judiciary and the ever-
present constitution issues sur-
rounding Quebec. All three
are likely to receive a lot of
attention in the coming ycars.

“You folks just got one of
the highest profile spots in
opposition right now,”
summed up the Fraser Valley’ 's
White.
