He will continue to serve as a member of provincial parliament.

Government House Leader John Milloy will take over Takhar’s government services portfolio.

Finance Minister Charles Sousa will take on the job of chair of the management board of cabinet.

Takhar was among the Liberal leadership candidates and threw his support behind Wynne’s rival Sandra Pupatello after he dropped off the ballot.

But Wynne kept him in cabinet in the job he had before former premier Dalton McGuinty resigned.
