Insurance (SGI).
Wright will assume his new duties April 17.

played a central role in managing the province's finances and helping
the government to deliver a balanced budget. I know that he will bring
the same efficiency and quality management skills to SGI."

taxation and fiscal policy branch. He assumed progressively more
senior positions and has served as deputy minister of finance since
