Tim Uppal (born November 14, 1974) is a Canadian politician, banker, and former radio host. He is the Member of Parliament (MP) for Edmonton Mill Woods.[2] Before this, he was the Conservative MP for Edmonton—Sherwood Park from 2008 to 2015. On July 15, 2013, Uppal changed roles from Minister of State for Democratic Reform to Minister of State for Multiculturalism.
Uppal's original riding was removed before the 2015 election, so he decided to run in the new riding of Edmonton Mill Woods. He lost to the Liberal candidate Amarjeet Sohi in 2015 but won the seat back from Sohi in the 2019 election. Uppal was re-elected in 2021.
In 2022, Uppal was made Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party.
