Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit inherits a new portfolio. The longtime Minister of Rural and Remote Health will now oversee the Ministry of Highways, as well as the Water Security Agency.
“I’m looking forward to new challenges,” Ottenbreit said in an interview.
He says he is going to miss being the Minister of Rural and Remote Health.
“I think we accomplished a lot. The new children’s hospital in Saskatoon is something we’re particularly proud of, as well as expanding the STARS ambulance program, to name a few.”
The Jim Pattison Children’s hospital in Saskatoon is scheduled to open this Fall.
“It’s been the culmination of many years of work and is a state-of-the-art facility,” Ottenbreit said.
“We’ve been able to make, I think, a lot of positive changes and although I’m going to miss a lot of it, I’m looking forward to the new challenges of this portfolio.”
