Following the conclusion of the spring legislative session and the resignation of the Honourable Ric McIver from his cabinet position to serve as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, Premier Danielle Smith has announced a cabinet shuffle.
The new cabinet includes both seasoned and newly appointed ministers, reflecting Alberta’s diverse population.
Notable appointments include Myles McDougall as Minister of Advanced Education, Matt Jones as Minister of Hospital and Surgical Health Services, and Rajan Sawhney as Minister of Indigenous Relations.
Additionally, Grant Hunter will serve as the Chief Government Whip. Premier Smith emphasized the government’s commitment to addressing key priorities such as economic growth, healthcare reform, and public safety.
This cabinet restructuring also aligns with the establishment of four new health care agencies, each overseen by a corresponding minister, to ensure integrated and seamless patient care.
