St. Boniface MP Shelly Glover has been nominated the parliamentary secretary for Indian Affairs, the Prime Minister's Office announced on Sunday.

Glover was previously the parliamentary secretary of Official Languages. She is Métis and fluently bilingual.

The previous parliamentary secretary for Indian Affairs was Vancouver Island MP John Duncan, who was named minister of Indian Affairs in a small cabinet shuffle in early August.

Parliamentary secretaries assist cabinet members and frequently represent their minister in parliamentary committees and work closely with members of Parliament in the House of Commons.
