His career as a lawyer took him around the world. But Virani is now at home in Ottawa
It’s hard keeping up with Arif Virani. Not only on foot — on a recent overcast but pleasant morning, he strides down Roncesvalles Avenue at a no-nonsense clip — but also with his human-rights legal work and budding political career. A mere five months ago, the 44-year-old became a rookie Liberal member of Parliament. As he strolls through a busy fruit market in his own Parkdale-High Park riding, Virani chats about his career path up to this point — and, at the same time, proves he’s mastered the walk-and-talk.
Before his electoral victory this past October, he explains, he spent 12 years as a Crown lawyer in the constitutional law branch at the Ministry of the Attorney General of Ontario, which represents the provincial government of the day when its legislation faces a constitutional challenge.

Bravo! this shows the merit of competency and meritocracy in Canadian society.
I hope (if there is any government reshuffle whenever in Ottawa) you get a department to lead in the Cabinet.
