At a ceremony Wednesday afternoon Premier Doug Ford and members of his cabinet were sworn in at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.
Included is Elgin-Middlesex-London MPP Rob Flack, but not in his former capacity as Minister of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness.
Flack is the new Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
It’s a position he is not unfamiliar with. From Sept., 2023 until June of last year, Flack was the Associate Minister of Housing.
In a statement released afterward Premier Ford announced, “As Ontario faces one of the greatest challenges in our history, workers and families are counting on us to stand up for their jobs and wellbeing.
“Our government will double down on our plan to build, train and reskill workers for better jobs and bigger paycheques, tear down internal trade barriers, retool companies for new customers in new markets, attract more investments and cut through red tape to develop our vast natural resources, including critical minerals in the Ring of Fire.
“No matter what, we will protect Ontario.”
