Alberta Premier Danielle Smith shuffles familiar faces into new cabinet roles
EDMONTON, AB – Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is shuffling familiar faces into new cabinet portfolios while keeping former leadership rivals close and welcoming back two political veterans.
Nate Horner is the new finance minister, Mickey Amery takes over as justice minister and Adriana LaGrange moves to health from her old job in education.
Brian Jean, Rajan Sawhney, Todd Loewen and Rebecca Schulz, all contenders for the United Conservative Party leadership last fall, return to Smith’s cabinet table.
Jean is energy minister, Sawhney takes over Advanced Education, Schulz is minister for environment and protected areas, and Loewen returns to forestry.
