Yasir Naqvi named labour minister

Image Ontario Premier-designate Kathleen Wynne has named Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi Ontario labour minister today, according the Toronto Star.

This will be Naqvi’s first cabinet appointment. As the president of the Ontario Liberal Party, he organized the leadership convention at Maple Leaf Gardens last month.

The Toronto Star is also reporting that Wynne named Charles Sousa finance minister and Liz Sandals education minister, demoting Laurel Broten to intergovernmental affairs.

Former Ottawa Mayor Bob Chiarelli is likely to move from infrastructure to energy.

Wynne will officially be sworn in tomorrow afternoon as Ontario’s 25th premier.
