The new MLA for Vernon Monahsee will officially start his duties on Monday. That's when Eric Foster will be sworn in at a Victoria ceremony, one of 18 new Liberal MLA's. The former Lumby mayor says his chances of being in Gordon Campbell's new cabinet are "fairly slim". He tells KISS FM, "Rookies don't usually get cabinet positions and the cabinet ministers that are returning have done a great job, so I don't see any of them being moved out." Foster will retain the same two staff members that former Liberal MLA Tom Christensen had, including Min Sidhu as his constituency assistant, but says he won't be using the same Vernon office. Foster says he wants to find a downtown site that's on the ground level, with no stairs."It (would be) a little more accessible to people. That's the only reason. " Christensen's office has been in the Sun Valley Mall on 30 Avenue.
