Irfan Sabir, born on December nineteenth, nineteen seventy-seven, is a prominent Canadian lawyer and politician. He has made significant contributions to the political landscape of Alberta, having been elected to the Legislative Assembly in both the two thousand fifteen and two thousand nineteen general elections. Representing the electoral district of Calgary-Bhullar-McCall, Sabir is a dedicated member of the Alberta New Democratic Party.
During his tenure in the twenty-ninth Alberta Legislature, Sabir's party formed a majority government, and he served as the Minister of Community and Social Services from two thousand fifteen to two thousand nineteen. His leadership in this role was marked by a commitment to enhancing community welfare and social services across the province.
As the political landscape shifted in the thirty-th Alberta Legislature, beginning in two thousand nineteen, Sabir's party transitioned to the official opposition against a United Conservative Party majority government. His resilience and dedication to public service have continued to shine through in his current roles as the Official Opposition critic for Justice and Public Safety and as the Deputy House Leader of the Official Opposition, a position he has held since June twenty-first, two thousand twenty-four.
