James Aylward moves from health to transportation and infrastructure, while Ernie Hudson becomes the new health minister – moving from social development and housing.
Steven Myers has been sworn in as minister of environment, energy and climate change after previously being minister of transportation, infrastructure and energy.
Brad Trivers moves from education to social development and housing, while Natalie Jameson leaves environment to become minister of education and lifelong learning.
