Nina Tangri, whose family comes from Bilga near Jalandhar, has been made Associate Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction. Till now, she was serving as Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. “Excited to be sworn in as the Associate Minister of Small Business & Red Tape Reduction. Thank you to Premier,” Nina said. But it is the appointment of Gill as Minister of Citizenship and Multiculturalism that surprised many in the Indo-Canadian community. Gill himself seemed to be surprised when he said: “Who would have thought a young boy who emigrated from India to Canada at a young age, raised by a single mother, would today be sworn in as Minister of Citizenship and Multiculturalism for the Province of Ontario.” He had previously served as an MP in the House of Commons.
