NDP leader Andrea Horwath has re-assigned some of her MPPs to new roles to shadow the new Tory government.

One of the big changes involves John Vanthof, the member for Timiskaming-Cochrane.

Vanthof is giving up his role as finance critic to become the co-Deputy Leader and the critic for Agriculture and Food, Rural Development.
