Ford Shuffles Cabinet, Including Moving Embattled Labour Minister
- Ontario Premier Doug Ford is shuffling his cabinet today, a move his office frames as stabilizing the provincial government amid trade tensions with President Donald Trump.
- Ford's administration has lost three cabinet ministers in recent months, including former Treasury Board President Caroline Mulroney, who resigned in June, alongside Neil Lumsden and Stan Cho.
- Stan Cho resigned after reports of $16,000 in personal hotel expenses, while Labour Minister David Piccini remains under investigation by Integrity Commissioner Cathryn Motherwell regarding a $2.5-billion skills training fund.
- Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy has temporarily assumed the treasury portfolio following Mulroney's departure, though Ford did not discuss the reshuffle during his Toronto Regional Board address this morning.
- The Premier recently reannounced plans to expand eligibility for the government's $1-billion loan fund designed to assist businesses affected by tariffs amid the ongoing trade war.
