It hasn't been announced yet. But the ministry of children and family development has a new quality assurance assistant deputy minister. On February 1, the lieutenant governor in council approved the appointment of National Collaborating Centre on Aboriginal Health administrative head Sandra Griffin to that post. Of course, that won't come as much of a surprise to our readers. Last month, Ms. Griffin declined comment when Public Eye asked her whether she had applied for the job - which was posted just before Christmas without any supporting advertising. Fancy that! The following is a complete copy of that order in council.
