He has also served as Shadow Minister for International Trade, Co-Chair of the Entrepreneur Caucus, and currently serves as Joint Chair of the Special Committee overseeing the Building Canada Act for Major Projects.

Most recently, Dean chaired the Allison Inquiry on Parliament Hill, a four-day public forum held in September 2026 to hear directly from Canadians who reported injuries following COVID-19 vaccination. The Inquiry provided individuals and families with an opportunity to share their experiences publicly and examined issues surrounding access to medical care, vaccine-injury reporting, government accountability, and Canada’s Vaccine Injury Support Program. More than 1,400 Canadians applied to share their experiences with the Inquiry, highlighting the importance of ensuring that those who report vaccine injuries have an opportunity to be heard.
