Brian Pallister has unveiled his new cabinet for his second term as Premier of Manitoba.

Along with some new faces, a few new departments have been created such as the department of Central Services, the department of Conservation and Climate, and the department of Economic Development and Training.

The new ministers brought in are Brandon West MLA Reg Helwer who will be in charge of Central Services, and Fort Richmond MLA Sarah Guillemard who will head up Conservation and Climate.

Some notable shuffles in Pallister's cabinet include Ralph Eichler moving from the Agriculture department to the Economic Development and Training department. Eichler is replaced by Midland MLA Blaine Pedersen. As well, Rochelle Squires was appointed Municipal Relations Minister, and Cathy Cox is the new minister for the Status of Women.

MLAs Heather Stefanson, Cameron Friesen, Cliff Cullen, Kelvin Goertzen, Eileen Clark, and Ron Schuler will stay on as ministers and keep the positions they held previously.
