Rafferty appointed FedNor Critic

John Rafferty's days of wandering in the political wilderness seem to be over.

Rafferty, the Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP says he's pleased with NDP leader Tom Mulcair's decision to appoint him as the new official opposition critic of FedNor.

Mulcair made the appointment at the unveiling of his first shadow cabinet as official opposition leader.

Rafferty and fellow Thunder Bay M.P. Bruce Hyer were kicked out of the NDP caucus last fall for supporting legislation to do away with the federal long gun registry.
