Tim Uppal PC MP (born November 14, 1974) is a Canadian politician, banker, and radio host who is the member for Edmonton Mill Woods in the Parliament of Canada.[2] He served as the Conservative Member of Parliament for Edmonton—Sherwood Park from 2008 to 2015. On July 15, 2013, Uppal was moved from Minister of State for Democratic Reform to the portfolio of Minister of State (Multiculturalism).
Uppal's riding was dismantled ahead of the 2015 election, and he opted to transfer to the newly created riding of Edmonton Mill Woods. He lost to Liberal candidate Amarjeet Sohi, but won the seat from Sohi in the 2019 election. He was re-elected in 2021.
