| 释义 |
On February 3, 1993, Ontario premier Bob Rae appointed six ministers without portfolio in the Ontario government. These were not full members of cabinet but rather provided policy assistance to cabinet ministers. They were generally described as "junior ministers." The only one of the original six ministers without portfolio who was assigned a specific job responsibility was Richard Allen, who oversaw international trade. The others did not have formally defined responsibilities. Some opposition politicians argued that these positions were unnecessary and duplicated the responsibilities of parliamentary assistants. The positions were eliminated in 1995 by the government of Mike Harris. Minister responsible for Economic DevelopmentRichard Allen held this position from February 3, 1993, to August 18, 1994, when he was promoted to a full cabinet position. His replacement was Bob Huget, who served until June 26, 1995.

Minister responsible for HealthKaren Haslam held this position from February 3 to June 14, 1993, when she resigned to protest the Rae government's Social Contact legislation.
