Parliamentary secretary

A parliamentary secretary is like a helper for a person who has an important job in the government. They work together do a good job for the people. The person who has the important job is called a minister. The parliamentary secretary helps the minister with all kinds of things. They might help with writing a speech or researching a new law. The parliamentary secretary can also listen to people’s questions and concerns and report back to the minister. It’s kind of like having a buddy who is always there to help you out when you need it!
