Cabinet changes were announced this week by Premier Scott Moe in the wake of the departure of Lyle Stewart as agriculture minister due to his battle with cancer.
Replacing Stewart as minister of Agriculture is Dave Marit, who previously was minister of Highways and Infrastructure.
Lori Carr replaces Marit in the highways and infrastructure portfolio, while deputy premier and minister of Education Gordon Wyant adds responsibility for SaskBuilds to his roles.
“I am confident that both Dave and Lori will bring an important perspective to their new portfolios, and I look forward to working with them as we stand up for Saskatchewan” said Moe in a news release.
“I would also like to thank our deputy premier as he takes on additional responsibility in an incredibly important file to our province’s infrastructure needs. Lyle Stewart will remain a strong mentor and advisor to our cabinet when it comes to supporting our agriculture sector while we stand with him in his battle against cancer.”
