Along with a ministerial cabinet shuffle last week, the provincial government has changed the roles of its deputy ministers, too.
Six deputy ministers were assigned to new departments last week.
Michael Richards is now the deputy minister of Crown Services and continues as deputy cabinet secretary and deputy minister of Intergovernmental Affairs.
Scott Sinclair moves from Crown Services to become deputy minister of the newly-established Central Services department, which is responsible for modernizing government procurement practices, information technology and shared services.
Sarah Harrison, the former deputy minister of Sport, Culture and Heritage, becomes deputy minister of Conservation and Climate (a newly-named department that replaced Sustainable Development).
The former municipal relations deputy minister Jan Forster is the new deputy minister for Economic Development and Training (the department that’s replaced Growth, Enterprise and Trade).
Civil Service Commissioner Charlene Paquin will also take on the role of deputy minister for Sport, Culture and Heritage, while Bruce Gray will serve as deputy minister of municipal relations after working at Sustainable Development.
Eight other deputy ministers kept their previous roles, as did Fred Meier, clerk of the executive council, and Paul Beauregard, secretary to treasury board.
Dave Dyson, the former deputy minister of Growth, Enterprise and Trade, was moved to a new role as senior advisor within executive council.
