There were several new faces named to the PC cabinet.
Six MLAs lost their roles, including former Aboriginal Affairs Minister Jake Stewart.
Premier Blaine Higgs and Stewart recently disagreed on whether an independent inquiry into the deaths of two Indigenous people in New Brunswick needed to be held.
