Notes

• On 22 March 2017, five days after the ministry was sworn in, Peter Tinley relinquished the Mines and Petroleum portfolio, to allay any concerns of a conflict of interest due to a family member working in the oil and gas industry. Tinley exchanged portfolios with Bill Johnston, taking on Johnston's Housing portfolio with Johnston taking Mines and Petroleum.
