OTTAWA — Conservative leader Andrew Scheer unveiled his team of “shadow ministers” Wednesday, an apparent attempt to unite factions within the party by empowering his former rivals. Months after a leadership race that included its share of intraparty tension, most of the MPs who ran against Scheer for the leadership rivals have roles in his shadow cabinet, though three are excluded. Tony Clement, who dropped out of the leadership race and ended up supporting Bernier, becomes the critic responsible for procurement. Another leadership rival, Steven Blaney, becomes critic for veterans affairs, a file on which he served as minister under Harper. Marilyn Gladu also gets a promotion from science to health, replacing Colin Carrie, who’s been dropped from the shadow cabinet.
