Flin Flon MLA Tom Lindsey was announced as the new Speaker of the Manitoba Legislature on Wednesday – he was the only nominee and will be acclaimed today (Nov 9).
Lindsey has represented the riding since 2016, and has served as the NDP’s critic for natural resources and northern affairs. He has also worked in the mining industry.
Veteran Tory MLA Myrna Driedger, who did not run for re-election this year, was the previous speaker.
