Ontario Premier Doug Ford unveils his new cabinet | FULL

Ontario Premier Doug Ford unveiled his new cabinet Friday, just over two weeks after his Progressive Conservative party won a resounding victory in the provincial election on June 2, returning to Queen's Park with more MPPs than in 2018. While most cabinet ministers returned to their original posts, there were a few changes, the biggest being former solicitor general Sylvia Jones becoming deputy premier and health minister. The role was previously held by Christine Elliott who decided not to seek re-election this year. Ford named a total of 30 cabinet ministers, including the premier himself. Newly-elected MPP Michael Kerzner has been named solicitor general, replacing Jones, while Ford's nephew Michael has been named minister of citizenship and multiculturalism. Hamilton-area MP Neil Lumsden was also named to cabinet after he took a long-held NDP seat in the region. Only a handful of former ministers did not return, including Lisa MacLeod and Ross Romano. There are seven women in Ford’s cabinet, down from nine in his previous one. The Tories won 83 of the legislature's 124 seats, which provided Ford with dozens of potential cabinet picks.
