Ontario Premier Doug Ford has unveiled his new cabinet, shuffling a number of ministers around the province’s major portfolios without axing any big names altogether.
Among the most significant changes in the shuffle are new faces at the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks.
Paul Calandra has been moved to education from housing, while Rob Flack takes housing and leaves his role with agriculture. Todd McCarthy will be the new environment minister.
Education has seen a revolving door of ministers since Stephen Lecce, who held the role from 2019 to 2024, was shuffled out of the file last year.
Todd Smith was education minister for a matter of weeks over the summer of 2024 before he retired from politics and was replaced by Jill Dunlop. She served in the role for less than a year and has now been replaced by Calandra.
