      VICTORIA — British Columbia Premier Christy Clark is appointing two longtime backbenchers to new positions that focus on rural issues and Metis relations.
       
      Cariboo-Chilcotin member of the legislative assembly Donna Barnett will be swore in as minister of state for Rural Economic Development, while Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton will become parliamentary secretary for Metis relations in the Aboriginal Relations Ministry.
