Garnett Genuis is the Member of Parliament for Sherwood Park–Fort Saskatchewan and the Conservative Shadow Minister for Jobs.
About his role in the Conservative Shadow Cabinet, Genuis says: “A job is a way to earn a living, but it is more than that. For many people, a job is a critical source of meaning. It helps us serve our communities, provide for our families, learn skills, and find our place in the world.”
First elected to Parliament in 2015, Genuis is a long-time resident of Strathcona County, where he currently resides with his wife Rebecca, a family doctor, and their six children.
Genuis has also been active on many high-profile domestic and international human rights issues. His interest in human rights was shaped by the experience of his grandmother, a Holocaust survivor. He previously served for five years as the Conservative Shadow Minister for International Development.
Genuis holds degrees from Carleton University and the London School of Economics. He runs a bi-weekly podcast called Resuming Debate, publishes regularly on Substack, and spends any spare time reading history books and playing strategy games with his children. The family also includes a Newfoundlander dog named Grace.
