    The past president of the BC Trappers Association is a rookie member of the legislature and was elected two years ago to represent the Prince George-Mackenzie riding.
     
    Morris has also been an adjudicator and mediator with the Health Professions Review Board.
     
    In an interview two days ago, Clark said she wasn't planning a cabinet shuffle and that all her ministers were doing a great job.
