Calgary Liberal MP Corey Hogan has been appointed as the parliamentary secretary to the minister of energy and natural resources.
Hogan was elected as the MP for Calgary Confederation in April's federal election. He was the only Liberal member elected in Calgary.
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the parliamentary secretary appointments on Thursday, selecting a long list of appointees to assist ministers and secretaries of state.
'Canada's new parliamentary secretary team will deliver on the government's mandate for change, working collaboratively with all parties in Parliament to build the strongest economy in the G7, advance a new security and economic partnership with the United States, and help Canadians get ahead,' Carney said in a news release.
After Hogan was elected in April, he expressed interest in lending a hand with future pipeline policy, citing years of 'first-hand experience' working on pipeline projects.
Hogan was one of two Liberal MPs elected throughout Alberta – Eleanor Olszewski won the seat for Edmonton Centre.
The Conservatives claimed almost all the ridings in the province, with just one other constituency in Edmonton going to the NDP.
