The new Department of Heritage minister is James Moore from the BC riding of Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam.
He first entered Parliament in 2004 and was named Secretary of State for Officials Languages, Pacific Gateway and the Vancouver-Whistler Olympics before he was announced yesterday as the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages.
The Heritage website is going to be closed tomorrow - presumbly to put Moore in as the minister, and to change some of the script on the website to reflect the new minister.
Josee Verner has been moved from the Heritage Department to Intergovemmental Affairs and is responsible for La Francophonie.
Greg Thompson is still the Minister of Veterans Affairs.
