MANITOBA APPOINTS NEW IMMIGRATION MINISTER

The Manitoba government has a new minister in charge of immigration and settlement.

Today the province's new premier, Greg Selinger, made changes to his cabinet. (Cabinet is the group of elected officials responsible for various matters within the government.)

Premier Selinger made MLA Jennifer Howard the new minister of labour and immigration.

Former minister Nancy Allan was made the government's new education minister.

Selinger became premier of Manitoba in October, when he was chosen by the New Democratic Party to replace long-time premier Gary Doer after his appointment as Canadian ambassador to the United States.
