B.C. Premier John Horgan has announced some cabinet changes that will see two ministers exchanging roles and another role being filled.
Bruce Ralston and Michelle Mungall have switched places. Ralston, formerly B.C.’s minister of jobs, trade and technology, has been appointed minister of energy, mines and petroleum resources, taking over from Michelle Mungall.
