Finance Minister Stan Struthers: Provincial Appointments

Struthers Dept: Finance Minister Stan Struthers said in a statement these affected agencies, boards and commissions ABCs will either be amalgamated or dissolved, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The targeted ABCs will be either moved into government or aligned with functions of other ABCs. In other cases, provincial involvement was no longer deemed necessary, Struthers said. Plus, nine ABCs with external and provincial appointments and three internal ABCs have been identified for amalgamation or dissolution and the Selinger government said Friday it is on track to reduce government-appointed agencies, boards and commissions by 20 per cent. There are 114 government-appointed ABCs and 23 have been identified for amalgamation or dissolution. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
