New provincial cabinet coming Friday
EDMONTON – Alberta Premier Danielle Smith will name a new cabinet Friday.
She has a lot of jobs to fill and fewer people to fill them, with a conspicuous urban-rural divide to bridge as well.
There are vacancies in key portfolios like Health, Justice, Environment, Social Services and Mental Health and Addiction.
Cabinet heavyweights Travis Toews and Sonya Savage did not run again while Health Minister Jason Copping and Justice Minister Tyler Shandro lost last week in their Calgary ridings.
