With the Conservatives saying every day that a new, younger and somehow more friendly cabinet is on the way, focus has fallen on three western MPs all of whom have acquitted themselves in support roles. Candice Bergen (left) is the 48-year-old member for Portage-Lisgar. and serves as parliamentary secretary to the minister of public safety. In the middle above is Michelle Rempel the 33-year-old MP for Calgary Centre-North. She has served as parliamentary secretary to the minister of the environment. Her work has apparently been good but she may be young to assume a ministerial job. On the right is Shelly A. Glover, 46, the member for Saint Boniface in Manitoba. She has worked as parliamentary secretary to the minister of finance and is the first policewoman MP in Canadian history. She served as a member of the Winnipeg Police Service for almost 19 years prior to her election. With the retirement of ministers and remarks by others that they may be returning to the backbench there is speculation that at least one or two of these women may be appointed to the cabinet.
