Area MPP Laurie Scott will now serve as the Minister of Infrastructure following a cabinet shuffle by Premier Doug Ford Thursday (June 20) morning.

The representative for Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock had previously served as the Minister of Labour.

Other MPPs with new portfolios include Vic Fedeli (from finance to economic development, job creation and trade), Lisa MacLeod (from children, community and social services to tourism, culture and sport), Lisa Thompson (from education to government and consumer services) and Merrilee Fullerton (from colleges and universities to long-term care).

“After nearly one full year in office, today I announced changes to our cabinet to build on the priorities for the people of Ontario for the year ahead,” a social media post from Ford reads.
