History
edit2018
editThe cabinet was sworn in by Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell on June 29. The cabinet featured Ford as Premier and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs with former Progressive Conservative leadership candidates Christine Elliott as Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, and Caroline Mulroney as Attorney General. Former interim leaders of the Progressive Conservatives Vic Fedeli and Jim Wilson were assigned to be Minister of Finance and Minister of Economic Development, respectively. This initial cabinet also featured Lisa MacLeod as both Minister of Community and Social Services and Minister of Children and Youth Services, Lisa Thompson as Minister of Education, Rod Phillips as Minister of the Environment, and John Yakabuski as Minister of Transportation.[3]
The first change to the cabinet came on November 2, 2018, when Jim Wilson resigned to sit as an independent and Todd Smith assumed his role as Minister of Economic Development.[4]
2019
editThe first major cabinet shuffle came on June 20, 2019, as the premier expanded the cabinet to 28 members[5] Doug Downey, Paul Calandra, Stephen Lecce and Ross Romano were promoted to cabinet to be Attorney General, Government House Leader, Minister of Education, and Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities, respectively. Jill Dunlop, Kinga Surma, and Prabmeet Sarkaria were promoted to be Associate Ministers. Rod Phillips became Minister of Finance, Jeff Yurek the Minister of the Environment, Todd Smith the Minister of Children and Youth Services, Caroline Mulroney the Minister of Transportation, Vic Fedeli the Minister of Economic Development, Lisa Thompson the Minister of Government and Consumer Services, Lisa MacLeod the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, Laurie Scott the Minister of Infrastructure, and Monte McNaughton the Minister of Labour. Bill Walker and Michael Tibollo were demoted from ministerial positions to be Associate Ministers, and Christine Elliott's portfolio split with Merrilee Fullerton taking over the newly created Ministry of Long-Term Care.
2021
editIn February 2021, Peter Bethlenfalvy replaced Rod Phillips as Minister of Finance following criticism of his international vacations during the COVID-19 pandemic,[6] though he returned to cabinet in June as the Minister of Long-Term Care.
That June shuffle removed 5 veteran members — Jeff Yurek, John Yakabuski, Laurie Scott, Bill Walker, and Ernie Hardeman — all having served since 2018 and toiled for years on the opposition bench (Hardeman in particular was the most senior member of caucus and the only member of the ministry who have served in the Harris and Eves ministries), and replaced them with 6 new members to cabinet, including David Piccini as Minister of the Environment, Parm Gill as Minister of Citizenship and Multiculturalism, Khaleed Rasheed as Associate Minister of Digital Government, Stan Cho as Associate Minister of Transportation, Nina Tangri as Associate Minister for Small Business and Red Tape Reduction, and Jane McKenna as the Associate Minister of Children and Women's Issues. Kinga Surma and Jill Dunlop were promoted from their associate minister roles to be Minister of Infrastructure and Minister of Colleges and Universities, respectively, with Prabmeet Sakaria being promoted from associate minister to President of the Treasury Board. She shuffle bring the cabinet to 29 members, one shy of the previous record set by the Wynne ministry in 2016.[7]
2022
editFord conducted an extensive cabinet shuffle following his government re-election in the 2022 Ontario general election.[8] The most signifcant appointment was naming Sylvia Jones as Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, the single largest portfolio in the government. These roles were previously held by Christine Elliott, Ford's leadership rival who retired from politics at that year's election. Most senior ministers retained their portfolio, though the shuffle ousted Lisa McLeod who had been dogged by controversies, and Ross Romano, both members with experience from opposition years, and saw Greg Rickford, once simultaneously held all resource portfolio, relinquished the mining brief, after having lost the energy brief a year prior. The shuffle also brought six rookie MPPs into cabinet, including Ford's nephew Michael as Minister of Citizenship and Multiculturalism. While Michael Ford's appointment drew much expected derision and invited comparison to cardinal-nephews appointed by Renaissance era popes, he actually came with more political experience than most of his rookie peers given service as a Toronto municipal elected official.[9] This shuffle brought his cabinet to 30 members, the same number as previous record on size.
2023
editEarlier in the year, a minor shuffle occurred following the resignation of Merrilee Fullerton, with Michael Parsa replacing her.[10]
Ford conducted two shuffles in September 2023. A major cabinet shuffle was held following the fallout due to the Greenbelt scandal.[11] Housing minister Steve Clark resigned and Stan Cho was added to cabinet.
Weeks later, another cabinet shuffle took place following the resignations of Monte McNaughton and Kaleed Rasheed.[12] Andrea Khanjin and Todd McCarthy were added to cabinet. The shuffle also added Vijay Thanigasalam as an associated minister,[13] pushing the number of minister to 31. With this, the Ford ministry officially set the record as the largest cabinet in Ontario history.
2024
editOn June 6, 2024, on the last day of sitting before the summer break, Doug Ford conducted a major Cabinet shuffle, surprising his caucus, the media, and the public. Ford expanded the size of cabinet to 36 members, again setting the record for the largest cabinet in Ontario history, changing the portfolios of many ministers and adding many Parliamentary Assistants to the cabinet without removing a current minister from cabinet. The new additions to the team included Sam Oosterhoff, Stephen Crawford, Nolan Quinn, Natalia Kusendova-Bashta, Mike Harris Jr. (Son of former PC premier Mike Harris Sr.), and Trevor Jones. The cabinet shuffle also included the addition of former Minister of Housing Steve Clark as Government House leader, who serves outside of the ministry.[14]
In response to the unexpected resignation of veteran minister Todd Smith, one of only a handful of minister remaining with experience from opposition years, Ford conducted a small scale shuffle that impacted two of the largest budget portfolio in the government in August 2024. Smith's crucial education brief, which he only assumed two months prior, was assigned to Jill Dunlop, who in turn handed her brief for higher education to Nolan Quinn who was elevated from junior minister rank. The shuffle also saw the entry of Kevin Holland and Graham McGregor as associate ministers, thus expanding cabinet size to 37, breaking the record for the third time for leading the largest cabinet in Ontario history.[15]
2025
editThis cabinet shuffle was held following the 2025 Ontario general election. The shuffle saw no departure and only one new member, Zee Hamid, who first won his Milton seat in a May 2024 byelection, entering ministry.[16] The most significant changes were with the education, environment, and the much battered municipal affairs & housing portfolios. Paul Calandra, who had been assigned to politically sensitive portfolios as the fixer following negative media attention to government and was viewed as having deftly managed a number of files, most recently at municipal affairs, was given education, the second largest ministry in terms of budget, and one of the most top of voters' mind portfolio, became Ford's fifth education minister. Rob Flack and Todd McCarthy, both first elected in 2022 and entered ministry in September 2023, were respectively given the municipal affairs and environment portfolio. Two ministers, both with fathers who were former PC members, were involved also shuffled. Incumbent education minister Jill Dunlop was named the inaugural minister of the newly created Ministry of Emergency Preparedness, while Mike Harris Jr. took on natural resources portfolio, one of the five original briefs in Ontario ministry. Two senior ministers who served in the federal Conservative government of Stephan Harper, saw significant, if subtle, changes to their brief. Greg Rickford, the only member of ministry who have served in federal cabinet and once the Tsar of all resources portfolios in the Ford ministry, again shed a portion of his brief, transferring northern development to George Pirie, who lost his mining portfolio, a substantial economic brief, to energy minister Stephan Lecce as an additional brief.
Current composition
editChanges were last made to the Ford ministry on March 19, 2025, following the Conservative Party's third consecutive majority victory in the election held in February 2025.[17] With 37 members since August 2024, it is the largest cabinet in Ontario history by a substantial margin. The current Ford ministry, as it has been since the March 2025 shuffle, is as follows:
