Premier Dalton McGuinty says he shuffled the responsibilities of six cabinet ministers to refocus his government's efforts on the economy.
McGuinty separated the Revenue Ministry from Finance and appointed John Wilkinson as the minister responsible for implementing the single 13 per cent sales tax that takes effect next year.
Ontario's opposition leaders say McGuinty failed to the one thing they wanted him to do -- fire David Caplan as health minister because of the scandal at eHealth Ontario.
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says McGuinty's refusal to move Caplan is insulting to taxpayers and shows an "unbelievable arrogance."
Interim Opposition Leader Bob Runciman says keeping Caplan in Health sends all the wrong signals about a "culture of entitlement" in the Liberal government.
Runciman says even though the top two officials at eHealth have been forced to resign, no elected official has been held accountable for the spending scandal.
McGuinty did not promote or demote anyone from the cabinet table, but realigned several ministries.
In addition to Wilkinson moving to Revenue, Windsor's Sandra Pupatello will merge her Trade portfolio with Economic Development, and take on responsibilities for small businesses.
John Milloy stays as minister of training, colleges and universities, but takes on double duty by also becoming minister of research and innovation.
Michael Gravelle adds forestry -- which had previously been under the Ministry of Natural Resources -- to his Northern Development and Mines Ministry.
Government Services Minister Ted McMeekin will swap jobs with Harinder Takhar, which means he'll take over a downsized Consumer Services Ministry.
