Local MLAs avoid shuffle

By Richard Rolke - Vernon Morning Star - June 24, 2008

Monday’s provincial cabinet shuffle was a non-event for the North Okanagan’s two representatives in Victoria. George Abbott, Shuswap MLA, will continue to serve as health minister, while Tom Christensen, Okanagan Vernon MLA, will remain as minister for children and family development. “I had no expectation of moving and it’s important for the Ministry of Children and Family to have some stability,” Christensen told The Morning Star Monday.Abbott has been health minister since 2005, and he is pleased that Premier Gordon Campbell left him with those duties.“It’s an exciting and challenging portfolio to have,” he said.
