With the gap that appeared in our Cabinet in Community Services, I knew we had an incredible team who could step in to help. One person in the Legislature, though, came to mind as someone who has a unique lived experience with this department, having grown up through the system. He's been offering productive solutions to the challenges facing Nova Scotians over the past few months. I'm happy to welcome Halifax Atlantic MLA Brendan Maguire to the PC Caucus as the province's new Minister of Community Services. I'm proud to have Brendan join our hard-working team of Nova Scotians focused on getting things done" (Tweet) via Twitter.
