TORONTO - Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne has moved the chairs around in her cabinet following the resignation of Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Linda Jeffrey.

Two backbenchers have been elevated to cabinet, while three others have changed jobs.

Bill Mauro of Thunder Bay takes over Jeffrey's portfolio, while Oakville's Kevin Flynn talks over labour from Yasir Naqvi.

Naqvi takes over community safety and correctional services from Madeleine Meilleur, who becomes Ontario's first francophone attorney general.

Her predecessor John Gerretsen, who has said he won't run for re-election, is minister without portfolio and chairman of cabinet -- taking over from Jeffrey.

Jeffrey announced earlier Tuesday that she's leaving provincial politics to run for mayor of Brampton.
