Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall shuffles cabinet as promised after election
REGINA — Six ministers have changed portfolios and four new faces have been added in a major cabinet shuffle Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall promised after last spring’s election.
Some high-profile changes announced Tuesday involve two key cabinet ministers who have found themselves in hot water for different reasons.
Don McMorris resigned from cabinet and as deputy premier earlier this month after being charged with impaired driving, while veteran Bill Boyd told the premier he wanted out.
Boyd was most recently in the middle of a controversy over a land deal outside Regina, although the provincial auditor concluded Boyd was not in a conflict of interest. He was also the minister responsible for SaskPower last year when 105,000 smart meters that had been installed in homes and businesses had to be removed because of a fire hazard.
