Victoria, British Columbia, Canada (AHN) – British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell announced Monday a reshuffle in his cabinet to focus on the province’s main aims of supporting families, education and the economy.

Cabinet members who were moved include George Abbott, who was given the education portfolio; Margaret MacDiarmid, who got tourism; Barry Penner, who was picked to head Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation; and Murray Coell, who got the environment portfolio.

Among those whom Campbell retained in their posts are Finance Minister Colin Hansen, Health Minister Kevin Falcon, Attorney General Mike de Jong and Minister of Public Safety Rich Coleman.

New appointees are Stephanie Cadieux as minister of community, sport and cultural development, and Paul Taylor as chief of staff. Taylor, the former chief executive officer of the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, will replace Martyn Brown, who testified in the Basi-Virk corruption trial.

Campbell, who is suffering from a 9 percent voter support in polls, said in a statement, “This new structure will streamline government processes for critical natural resource industries to ensure we can better attract global investment and turn proposed projects and investments into actual work sites and jobs. It enables us to move forward with our federal partners towards establishing a ‘one project, one process’ model.”
