<DIV>McMeeklin is a potentially great choice. He is a social worker with
experience in social planning and has introduced a private members bill in the
past which aimed at establishing a committee of experts and recipients to set
rates on the basis oif need. Will the Liberals let him get a head of steam and
maintain his principles?</DIV>

<DIV>Hi folks,</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here's the list of Kathleen Wynne's new Cabinet. The Ottawa
contingent is still the same size with Mademeine and Bob still there,
Dalton gone and Yasir elevated to cabinet. That was a surprise to me
since he's also the Ontario Liberal Party President, a big job in
itself, although he does need cabinet experience to become the next
Liberal leader. </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ted McMeekin, the new Community & Social Services Minister, is
from a riding just west of Hamilton that appears to be a mix of
urban/rural as is Ottawa. I don't know anything else about him - yet!
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Linda Jeffrey, Minister of Municipal Affairs & Housing, is from
Brampton and was previously the Minister of Labour and Seniors. She's
from Ireland so she must be okay.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For those of you following the Social Assistance Review process
with it's emphasis on employment, Yasir is the new Minister of Labour
and Eric Hoskins is the Minister of Economic Development, Trade and
Employment, a new ministry. Hoskins was a leadershipcandidate and the
first to go over to Wynne at the convention.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Charles Sousa, as expected, is the new Minister of Finance. He
brings a lot of experience to that portfolio from his private sector
work and, from what I know of him, is a heavy hitter.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We'll have to see how they all work out, of course, and how she
does in her role as cat-herder. </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Linda.</DIV>
