Osborne replacing Dix as Health Minister, Begg in for Farnworth as Solicitor General
Premier David Eby Monday (Nov. 18) unveiled his new cabinet during a ceremony held at Government House, the official residence of Lt. Governor Janet Austin.
After winning a bare majority in the last provincial election Eby unveiled a new cabinet that mixes familiar names in key portfolios like housing, but also changes course in other key areas. Prominent among the latter are health (with long-time health minister Adrian Dix moving out of that portfolio after almost eight years) and public safety (where Mike Farnworth also moves on from his long-time role of Solicitor General).
Eby used the occasion to re-state his promise that his new cabinet would bring down costs for families, strengthen health care, make communities safe, and grow the economy.
