Premier Ralph Klein reconfigured Alberta cabinets and named Medicine Hat MLA Rob Renner to lead a broad government review. The review may take 12 to 18 months to assess agencies boards and commissions for consolidation elimination or better alignment under ministers. Renner will also serve as caucus representative to the Government Reorganization Secretariat and will oversee implementation of restructuring.
