Oxford County MP Arpan Khanna will be adding another title to his resume as he continues his time in the House of Commons.

OXFORD/OTTAWA - Arpan Khanna has a new title added to his political resume.

The Oxford County MP has been named Vice-Chair of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. The committee studies and scrutinizes legislation, policies, and programs related to Canada’s justice system, the courts, the Department of Justice, and the protection of human rights. Khanna says what this role means to him.

"Since I was elected, I have made it my focus to bring the concerns of Oxford directly to the floor of Parliament. As Vice-Chair, I will use every tool in the toolbox to restore safe streets, stronger laws, and justice for victims."

Khanna is a lawyer and brings direct experience in law, as he also serves as the Shadow Minister for Justice and Attorney General of Canada. Khanna has been a big advocate for justice, as he introduced Bill C-242, the Jail Not Bail Act, which was intended to end bail for repeat violent offenders. He has also advocated many times in the House of Commons for bail reform, rural crime and the rights of law-abiding firearms owners.
