Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation (Manitoba)

The Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation was a cabinet minister in the government of Manitoba, Canada.

The position was created in 1999 by a merger of the departments of Highways and Transportation and that of Government Services. The new department was initially called the Ministry of Highways and Government Services. Its name was changed to the Ministry of Transportation and Government Services on January 17, 2001, and then to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation on September 21, 2006.

The Manitoba cabinet was re-organized after the provincial general election of 2016. The ministry's infrastructure responsibilities were assigned to the new ministry of Infrastructure under the direction of Blaine Pedersen.[1] The transportation responsibilities formed part of the new ministry of Growth, Enterprise and Trade under the direction of Cliff Cullen.
