A familiar name has been named to Premier Doug Ford's cabinet.
Ford unveiled his new cabinet Wednesday, keeping most of his high-profile ministers in their portfolios following an election he won on the promise of guiding the province through U.S. tariff threats with a steady hand.
Peter Bethlenfalvy is remaining on as minister of finance, while Sylvia Jones will remain on as health minister and deputy premier and Stephen Lecce will keep his portfolio in energy and mines.
There are some changes, however. Paul Calandra will move from municipal affairs and housing to become education minister, while Jill Dunlop will move from education to emergency preparedness and response.
Mike Harris becomes minister of natural resources; and Todd McCarthy becomes minister of the environment, conservation and parks.
Andrea Khanjin, who was previously environment minister, is moving to red tape reduction. Graham McGregor will take over citizenship and multiculturalism. That role was previously occupied by Michael Ford, who did not run for re-election.
Chatham-Kent-Leamington MPP Trevor Jones was named Minister of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness.
Jones was handily reelected last month for a second term, capturing 52 per cent of the vote, with 22,250 ballots cast for him.
Jones replaces Rob Flack, who was reasssigned as the minister of municipal affairs and housing.
