The Yukon's MP will be serving the natural resources minister in Paul Martin's cabinet. Larry Bagnell was named parliamentary secretary to the minister of natural resources this morning.

That minister is John Efford.

Bagnell's new job was previously held by Nunavut MP Nancy Karetak-Lindell.

Meanwhile, Western Arctic MP Ethel Blondin-Andrew was named minister of state for northern development. The announcement was delayed by a judicial recount of her narrow 53-vote win in the June 28 election.

Blondin-Andrew will be working alongside new Indian and Northern Affairs Minister Andy Scott, Scott was first elected to the House of Commons more than 10 years ago. In the past, he has been minister of state and the solicitor general of Canada.
