Alberta’s Smith set to shuffle cabinet, high-profile ministries in play


CALGARY — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is expected to announce changes to her cabinet today in Calgary.

The premier has not shared details about who may be on the move either in or out of her government.

But at least two key ministries are up for grabs after Finance Minister Nate Horner and Hospitals Minister Matt Jones both announced they were stepping down after deciding not to seek re-election in 2027.

Rumours have swirled that Jason Nixon could step in as finance minister, but Smith wouldn’t confirm or deny the rumour last week.

Nixon, who currently serves as the minister of social services, has said speculating about cabinet changes is a waste of time and that he’s focused on the role he currently has.

Smith last announced major changes to her cabinet just over a year ago.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 21, 2026.
