Twice in the last three months, Maxime Bernier has watched someone else walk away with the job he wanted. Instead, he watched from across the aisle as Andrew Scheer won by a 0.95-percentage point margin. Bernier has now watched another job he wanted given to someone else — the younger provocateur par excellence, Pierre Poilievre. "Most important for me was to have an economic portfolio, and, as you know, the industry portfolio is an economic one and I'm very pleased with that," he told CBC News. Would disagreeing on such a major economic issue make it virtually impossible for Scheer to name Bernier as finance critic?
