One of our own MLA's will be taking on a new role.

Moose Jaw Wakamow MLA Greg Lawrence will be taking over the responsibilities of Government Whip. Premier Brad Wall announced the appointment along with the changes to the Provincial Cabinet.

Lawrence talked about what his new job entails.

"We work with all our government members, so all our MLA's and Cabinet Ministers, to make sure we have people where they need to be and when they need to be there. Making sure we're coordinated if a minister has an out of town event when we're in session, making sure his back up is there. Same thing with our MLA's."

Lawrence said he is thrilled with the new position and is excited to begin his new role at the upcoming fall sitting. Earlier this year he was named the Province's Military Liaison.
