Ontario Premier Doug Ford unveiled a new cabinet on Friday, swapping the posts of former Education Minister Stephen Lecce, who is now minister of energy and electrification, and former Energy Minister Todd Smith, now education minister. Minister of Indigenous Affairs and Northern Development Greg Rickford will now also focus on First Nations economic reconciliation. (The Logic)

Talking point: The extensive overhaul—which in total shuffles 14 ministers and expands the premier’s top team to 36—comes as the legislature breaks for the summer and grapples with fallout from its bungled approach to develop protected land tracts, which prompted resignations within the government last year. Lecce and Rickford’s expanded portfolios come amid projections that the province’s electricity demand could more than double by 2050. Ford’s government has promoted development of mineral projects in the Ring of Fire region in northern Ontario to attract electric-vehicle industry investments, but has struggled to reach consensus with Indigenous nations there.
