Shannon Stubbs is proud to represent Lakeland, where both she and her husband grew up and where they continue to live on a farm near Two Hills. She has been elected to Parliament four times and, in 2019, earned the highest vote percentage of any female Member of Parliament in Canadian history.
Recognized for her commitment to the people she serves, Shannon received the Maclean's Parliamentarian of the Year Award in both 2017 and 2021 as the Member of Parliament who "Best Represents Constituents."
In Parliament, Shannon currently serves as the Conservative Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, with responsibility for the Alberta Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Pipeline, and Pathways Project, having been appointed by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. Throughout her parliamentary career, she has also served as Shadow Minister for Energy and Natural Resources, Official Opposition Shadow Minister for Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, Shadow Minister for Rural Economic Development and Rural Broadband, and as both Shadow Minister and Deputy Critic for Natural Resources.
Shannon has also served in key parliamentary leadership roles as Vice-Chair of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Natural Resources, Vice-Chair of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security, and Vice-Chair of the Special Committee on Pay Equity.
As a strong advocate for Canada's energy sector, Shannon partnered with the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors, the Quebec Oil and Gas Association, and other stakeholders to table an e-petition supporting pipelines and Canada's role as a world leader in the responsible development of oil and gas resources. At the time it was presented in the House of Commons, it was the most-signed parliamentary e-petition in Canadian history.
Before being elected to Parliament, Shannon built a diverse career spanning the private, not-for-profit, political, and public sectors at both the provincial and federal levels. She worked in the Oil Sands Business Unit at Alberta Energy and in the International Offices and Trade Division of Alberta Economic Development before becoming a Senior Consultant with Hill + Knowlton Canada, where she represented clients in the health care, pharmaceutical, energy, education, charitable, and not-for-profit sectors. She also contributed to expanding energy trades, technology education, and apprenticeship training through Government and Community Relations at SAIT Polytechnic.
