Canada’s new NDP leader has announced the critic roles for his six-person caucus in Ottawa — naming his former opponent Heather McPherson as House leader.

Calling the MPs a “progressive beacon in the House” in a news release, Avi Lewis said the New Democrats are “united and laser-focused on the everyday emergency facing Canadians.”

Lewis won the leadership handedly last month, beating McPherson, the only MP in the race, with 56 per cent of the vote.
