Ontario Cabinet Named Today

The McGuinty government will unveil his new cabinet today.

Sources say it will be smaller, with 22 ministers instead of the previous 28, but there will be a lot of familiar faces.

In the new cabinet, former Energy Minister Brad Duguid will head up a combined Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation, while Liberal Ted McMeekin will return to cabinet as minister of
agriculture.

And Dwight Duncan, who will still be the finance minister, will also become deputy premier.
