The cabinet has
one only representative from northern Alberta — Finance Minister Travis
Toews, the MLA-elect for Grande Prairie-Wapiti. Southern Alberta has
only one rural representative: Grant Hunter, the MLA-elect for
Taber-Warner, was named associate minister in charge of reducing
government red tape.
When asked about the unequal regional
representation, Kenney said his cabinet had a good balance between
veterans and newcomers as well as backgrounds.
