When asked earlier this week about Clarke's appointment to Treasury Board, Pallister's director of media relations refused to divulge any information, issuing only a brief statement. Treasury Board is a committee made up of the finance minister, appointed cabinet ministers and backbench MLAs. Clarke was previously appointed to Treasury Board in August 2017 and served for a year before she was shuffled out. Alan Lagimodiere, the new minister for Indigenous reconciliation, has since apologized after he said those running residential schools had good intentions. Former deputy minister Jamie Wilson, a member of Opaskwayak Cree Nation, stepped down as board chair of the Communities Economic Development Fund.
