Five things to know about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new cabinet
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a dramatic change to his inner circle Wednesday, bringing in a number of new faces to cabinet and shuffling veterans into new roles.Trudeau promoted seven members of Parliament, some of whom were first elected in 2015, and dropped seven others from his front bench.
Rechie Valdez, another Toronto-area MP, has been named the minister of small business and is the first Filipino-Canadian woman appointed to cabinet. Nor is Marco Mendicino, the former public safety minister. His handling of key files from gun control to the prison transfer of serial killer Paul Bernardo repeatedly landed the government in hot water.Nova Scotia MP Sean Fraser, who was first appointed to cabinet after the 2021 federal election, moved from immigration to become minister of housing, infrastructure and communities.
LeBlanc has been negotiating with opposition House leaders to set the terms of an inquiry into foreign interference. Quebec MP Pascale St-Onge — the former sports minister — takes over from Pablo Rodriguez, who is the new transport minister and keeps his post as Quebec lieutenant.
