Ontario Premier Doug Ford is making changes to his cabinet today, with several individuals expected to be reassigned as he seeks to fill three vacant positions.
The specifics of the cabinet reshuffle remain undisclosed by Ford’s office, but it is emphasized as a move to stabilize Ontario in the midst of the trade tensions initiated by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Ford has faced the departure of three cabinet members in recent times, notably including former Treasury Board President Caroline Mulroney. Subsequently, Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy assumed the responsibilities of the vacant position, although there is speculation that Ford is considering a new appointment for the treasury role.
One of the resignations involved Stan Cho stepping down from his position as minister of tourism, culture, and gaming due to criticism over substantial expenditures on Toronto hotel accommodations despite residing in the city.
Similarly, Neil Lumsden resigned from his roles as minister of sport and member of provincial parliament for Hamilton East-Stoney Creek last month.
