Ag Critic In Federal Shadow Cabinet

Conservative leader Rona Ambrose has gone a different direction for her Agriculture Critic.

She's given that job to Chris Warkentin - an MP from the Alberta riding of Grand Prairie-Mackenzie.

Warkentin owned and operated a custom home building company before getting elected to Parlaiment in the 2006 election.

The man who was the most recent federal agriculture minister - Gerry Ritz - is now the Conservative's critic for International Trade.
