By Shadow Cabinet

Following the 2015 federal election, held on October 19, 2015, the Conservative Party lost power and became the 42nd Parliament of Canada's Official Opposition. It was led by Rona Ambrose on an interim basis from November 2015 to May 2017. ^[1]

Andrew Scheer was elected permanent leader in May 2017. When he named his shadow cabinet in August 2017, he chose to use the term "shadow minister", used in the UK and other Westminster parliaments, instead of the traditional Canadian term "critic". CBC News speculated that the term was chosen to show increased seriousness. ^[2]
