“[Scweitzer] will bring the same energy and drive into the newly named portfolio of Jobs, the Economy and Innovation as he oversees the implementation of Alberta’s Recovery Plan, its sector strategies and our growth agenda.”

“[Allard] will create strong and successful municipal partnerships influenced by a lifetime of real world business experience as a local entrepreneur.”

“[Madu] will bring tremendous expertise implementing key democratic reforms including citizen’s initiative and recall legislation, a review of Alberta’s Police Act and the execution of the fair deal panel recommendations endorsed by government.”

Kenney says the shift in cabinet will help Alberta’s recovery for the long-term and short-term.
