By Canadian Press on August 21, 2025.

OTTAWA — Gail Shea, a former MLA and MP from P.E.I. has died at 66 years old.

Shea represented the riding of Egmont for the Conservatives between 2008 and 2015.

Shea served as a member of former prime minister Stephen Harper’s cabinet, as minister of fisheries and oceans, national revenue and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.

P.E.I. Premier Rob Lantz said in a statement Thursday that Shea was a “trailblazer” and a “mainstay” in the Progressive Conservative Party and was a “loyal, respected, and trusted voice.”

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said on social media that Shea was a “larger than life figure” in the Conservative movement.

Poilievre says she was “full of energy, warmth, good humour and was the epitome of Maritime hospitality.”
