- Stan Cho resigned after reports of $16,000 in personal hotel expenses, while Labour Minister David Piccini remains under investigation by Integrity Commissioner Cathryn Motherwell regarding a $2.5-billion skills training fund.
- Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy has temporarily assumed the treasury portfolio following Mulroney's departure, though Ford did not discuss the reshuffle during his Toronto Regional Board address this morning.
