Prentice and cabinet will be sworn in

Alberta’s new premier and cabinet will make it official later today.

Jim Prentice will be sworn in as Alberta’s 16th premier at Government House in Edmonton this afternoon.

The new cabinet will also be part of the ceremony. It’s set to see some new faces, as former Municipal Affairs Minister Ken Hughes has announced he won’t be seeking re-election.

During his campaign, Prentice promised to slim down the cabinet, which critics had described as being bloated under Alison Redford.

Prentice says Albertans will see that the province is under new management.
