MCGUINTY SELECTS NEW LIBERAL CABINET
On Thursday October 23rd, members of Ontario’s new Liberal cabinet were sworn into office by Premier Dalton McGuinty.
The cabinet was reduced from 28 members to 22 that held titles during the last session at Queen’s Park, many of them familiar faces from the previous cabinet. McGuinty promised a smaller cabinet after the Liberals lost four former ministers in the October election and fell to 53 seats from 72.
The Liberals have said the cabinet has the experience Ontario needs during an uncertain global economy.
Some notable re-selections and changes to the cabinet include:
- Deb Matthews will remain Minister of Health and Long-Term Care
- Dwight Duncan from Minister of Finance to Deputy Premier
McGuinty’s official cabinet list is as follows:
- Ted McMeekin, Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs
- John Gerretsen, Attorney General
- Eric Hoskins, Children and Youth Services
- Charles Sousa, Citizenship and Immigration
- Madeleine Meilleur, Community Safety and Correctional Services, Francophone Affairs
- John Milloy, house leader, Community and Social Services
- Margarett Best, Consumer Services
- Brad Duguid, Economic Development and Innovaton
