Dosanjh was sworn in as premier on February 24, 2000,[1] with his initial cabinet following five days later.[2]

Following the 2001 election, which the NDP lost, it was replaced by the Campbell ministry.[3]

Cabinet shuffles

Dosanjh shuffled his cabinet on November 1, 2000.[4] The shuffle was undertaken to replace seven cabinet ministers who had decided not run in the impending election. In a surprise move, Dosanjh named Edward John, the Grand Chief of the First Nations Summit of British Columbia and not an MLA, to cabinet. John was the second indigenous cabinet minister in BC, after Frank Calder in the 1970s.[5]
