| Erin O’Toole |
Erin Michael O’Toole has been appointed the Minister of Veterans Affairs to replace Julian Fantino. Mr. O’Toole is the Conservative Member of Parliament for the Riding of Durham. He was elected with a whopping mandate (50.72% support) when he replaced Bev Oda as the CP candidate in Durham for the 2012 election. Mr. O’Toole’s website was updated simultaneously with his appointment and shows him in this informal shot wearing an RCAF jersey. He wears it honestly, having graduated from Royal Military College and received his wings as a helicopter navigator. He was later called to the bar. The replacement of Mr. Fantino was not very surprising. Although he may have been criticised for things that were not always his fault, Mr. Fantino seemed to find it increasingly difficult to get along with fractious members of the veterans community.
