WINNIPEG – Southdale MLA Erin Selby is the province’s new minister of advanced education and literacy.
Selby was sworn into today by Premier Greg Selinger at the Manitoba Legislative Building.
She replaces Diane McGifford, who is not running in the Oct. 4 general election.
Selby said she welcomes the challenge and as a mom of three young triplet girls, she has an appreciation of the province’s education system.
She said she also said she wants to continue to keep tuition affordable and further improve literacy standards.
Selby was elected the MLA for Southdale in 2007.
Prior to her election, Selby earned a degree in journalism at Concordia University and worked for CTV Winnipeg and City TV’s Breakfast Television.
Progressive Conservative advanced education critic Mavis Taillieu said Selby’s appointment comes after a decade of neglect by the NDP of its post-secondary institutions and of students.
