UCP MLA Brian Jean takes back seat in party caucus

Former United Conservative Party leadership candidate Brian Jean will continue as MLA for Fort McMurray-Conklin, but is taking a back seat in the Opposition. 
Jean was defeated by Jason Kenney in the leadership race last weekend and the new leader unveiled a list of Opposition critic roles Tuesday. Jean’s name wasn’t on it. 
That was fine with Jean, who said he requested some breathing space to concentrate on his constituency. 
His break is a long time coming.
