Doug Ford names his first cabinet

Doug Ford named 20 of his MPPs to cabinet the same morning he was sworn in as Ontario premier at Queen’s Park. The group is styled as the province’s "first-ever government for the people," a riff on the Progressive Conservative campaign slogan.

A news release quoted Ford as saying: "I will never forget why I’m here: to work for the people of Ontario. I promised the people that I would help make our great province the best place in North America when it comes to business, creating jobs and raising a family. And I am going to keep my promise."

This is the cabinet, in which Ford himself will serve as minister of intergovernmental affairs along with 20 colleagues. It includes seven women, and longtime MPPs like Christine Elliott, Vic Fedeli, Lisa MacLeod, Monte McNaughton, Laurie Scott, Jim Wilson and John Yakabuski. Greg Rickford, a former federal natural resources minister, will serve a similar role. And star candidates-turned-Queen’s Park rookies Caroline Mulroney and Rod Phillips also got nods in important portfolios.
