Premier Ford Shuffles Cabinet



June 20, 2019

Premier Ford has made major changes to his cabinet in an attempt to reset his government.

This morning's cabinet shuffle happens a little over a year after his election win in June 2018. Unlike his previous shuffle, where shifts were mostly minor, this shuffle brings in sweeping changes in some of the most senior portfolios.

Several new appointments have direct implications for human services, with changes affecting the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services; the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities and the Ministry of Education. 

Minister Steve Clark retains his portfolio in the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and Minister Christine Elliott retains her position as Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. New Associate Ministers have been added for Long-Term Care and Mental Health and Addictions.

The full cabinet list is below, and you can find more details on changes affecting human services in OMSSA's Policy Update.
