Not sure, but it looks like Premier Christy Clark is getting more media shy by the week.  Today she chose the quiet of the weekend to announce changes to her cabinet. 

The Provincial government's website annouced today that Clark appointed. John Yap, as Minister of State for Multiculturalism. Yap currently serves as the chair of the Immigration Task Force, a committee examining the current system of economic immigration to Canada.

 Clark also appointed Moira Stilwell, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health with a specific focus on health care innovation. Stilwell has worked as a radiologist and nuclear medicine physician at B.C. Women's Hospital, St. Paul's, Surrey Memorial and Abbotsford Regional hospitals.

She announced that Rob Howard will become Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Transportation with a specific focus on air services agreements. Rob currently chairs the Select Standing Committee on Finance & Government Services and is a member of the Cabinet Committee on Jobs and Economic Growth as well as the provincial lead for the Air Access Initiative to encourage open skies.
