By Shadow Cabinet

Following the 2019 federal election, held on October 21, 2019, the Conservative Party gained seats, but remained as the Official Opposition, while the governing Liberals formed a minority government. It is led by Erin O'Toole, who was elected as party leader on August 24, 2020. Prior to that, it was led by Andrew Scheer, who was elected as party leader in May 2017.

O'Toole I (September 2, 2020 – present)

Scheer VIII (February 1, 2020 – August 23, 2020)

Scheer made changes to his Shadow Cabinet as a result of various members of his caucus announcing their candidacy for the party's leadership. Under caucus rules, MPs running for party leadership had to resign their critic positions.[3]

Scheer VII (November 29, 2019 – January 31, 2020)
