Premier Doug Ford shuffles cabinet as legislature rises for summer

Ford's changes come as the legislature rose for an extended summer break - to late October - and as the premier has been fuelling early election speculation by refusing to commit to waiting until 2026 to go to the polls.

Several new people have been promoted into cabinet, with new associate minister positions being created and some other ministries such as Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs being split into two, bringing the size of cabinet to 36 people. Steve Clark, who resigned last fall as municipal affairs and housing minister amid the Greenbelt controversy, has been appointed Government House Leader. It's not a cabinet position, but is a key role within the government, as that person frequently fields the questions in question period.
