TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s cabinet will be sworn in on Friday, as he gets set to name an executive council out of his new and larger Progressive Conservative caucus. Ford’s previous cabinet had 28 people in it, but he has a much larger caucus to choose from this time, with 83 Tories elected earlier this month. That’s leading to some speculation that Ford will increase the size of his cabinet, perhaps by breaking up larger ministries into more focused portfolios. Much of Ford’s plan centred on building hospitals and highways such as Highway 413, proposed for the Greater Toronto Area. The next housing minister will also have a mammoth task ahead.
