Alberta Premier Jason Kenney announced a minor cabinet shuffle on Tuesday that changes the portfolios of two current ministers and adds a new face to his front bench. Doug Schweitzer has moved from Justice to the new ministry of Jobs, Economy and Innovation. It is the first cabinet shuffle since Kenney led his United Conservative Party to a majority win over the province's first NDP government in April 2019, on a platform of jobs, economy and pipelines. In his second year as premier, Kenney has had to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic impact of the global plunge in oil prices. Before the shuffle, Kenney had 19 ministers in his cabinet and three associate ministers.
