Wynne promoted Kevin Flynn, who successfully fought a gasKevin Flynn red power plant in his riding, to minister of Labour and replaced Jeffrey with Thunder Bay-Atikokan MPP Bill Mauro. The Liberals have been worried both ridings are vulnerable to opposition challenges in the next provincewide vote.
