Hector Bremner, who ran on behalf of the B.C. Liberals in the last election, has a new role with the provincial government.
Bremner was hired as an executive assistant to Richmond Center MLA Teresa Wat, Minister of International Trade.
"It's an honour to support the work this government is doing," Bremner told The Record. "This particular file is a crucial part (of that work) as we develop markets and continue to expand trade.
Bremner ran for the B.C. Liberals but lost his seat in New Westminster to NDP candidate and now-MLA Judy Darcy.
In his new job, Bremner will be based in Vancouver, but will work in Victoria when the house is in session.
Fresh on the heels of Clark's victory in Westside-Kelowna, where she was won her seat in the house, Bremnersaid he was "ecstatic" when he heard the news.
