VICTORIA — A number of Interior MLAs have new critic portfolios Thursday (Sept. 10) as B.C. Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson shuffled his shadow cabinet.

Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar moves from Environment to Labour. Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo takes Milobar’s former Environment file.

Milobar’s Kamloops-South Thompson counterpart, Todd Stone, retains his previous role in Municipal Affairs and Housing.

Fraser-Nicola MLA Jackie Tegart is now the critic for Economic Development, Competitiveness, Trade and Technology, with a focus on Regional Economic Development and Small Business.

Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes will move to Emergency Preparedness. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett was not given a shadow cabinet position as she is not seeking re-election.

The changes come as whispers persist in Victoria that there may be an election call as early as this fall.
