Her new cabinet will also be sworn in on Feb. 11.
Wynne has remained tight-lipped about who will be added or dropped from the Liberal front benches as the minority government prepares to face the opposition in the legislature for the first time in four months.
It will resume Feb. 19 after being prorogued by McGuinty when he announced his resignation on Oct. 15.
McGuinty has said he will stay on the Liberal backbench as the representative for Ottawa-South until the next election.
