Premier Brad Wall shuffled cabinet today appointing a smaller 17-member cabinet in Saskatchewan.

“In the April election, we were fortunate that voters elected a number of very talented and capable new MLAs, creating the opportunity for renewal in our government,” Wall said. “The new cabinet will have a strong blend of experience and new faces and will serve Saskatchewan well as we work to meet the opportunities and challenges facing our province.” – Premier Brad Wall
