The provincial government has revealed its post-election Cabinet, and it means there will be an election for Speaker.
Perry Trimper is back in Cabinet after being Speaker for the past couple of years. Trimper, the MHA for Lake Melville, becomes minister of municipal affairs and the environment.
That portfolio had been left vacant because of the tight race in Labrador West.
Graham Letto, who had been minister of municipal affairs and environment, lost to the NDP’s Jordan Brown by two votes.
Christopher Mitchelmore moves from culture, recreation, tourism and business to advanced education and skills with responsibility for Francophone Affairs.
He and Virginia Waters-Pleasantville MHA Bernard Davis essentially trade portfolios.
