Rickford Passed over for Promotion

Hiding his disappointment, Kenora MP Greg Rickford says he's ready to work with the new Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.

Bernard Valcourt, previously a secretary of state for the Francophonie, steps into the void left when John Duncan suddenly resigned last week.

Rickford says he will continue his work as Parliamentary Secretary to Aboriginal Affairs.

Rickford says he's a team player and will support the new Minister.
