Pablo Rodriguez was appointed Minister for Canadian Heritage in Tuesday’s federal cabinet shuffle, replacing Steven Guilbeault
While Steven Guilbeault is busy saving the planet, can Pablo Rodriguez clear up the little mess his colleague left behind at Canadian Heritage?
As for Rodriguez, he has been here before: He also served briefly as heritage minister from 2018 to 2019 after Mélanie Joly left the portfolio with her grand ambitions for digital-era cultural policies largely unfulfilled. After the 2019 election, he was shuffled again and it was the newly elected Guilbeault who stepped in, ready to prove himself in what many governments mistake as a minor portfolio. Guilbeault initially performed well, proving a strong supporter of the cultural sector, less prone to Joly’s digital-era burbling and the ministry did, at long last, table a bill to update the Broadcasting Act.
No doubt Guilbeault is better acquainted with calculating the impact of carbon offsets than broadcasting regs, but could his lack of oomph in the final push simply be attributed to his province? Trudeau has picked all his Heritage ministers from Quebec, a society that equates culture with survival, and many Quebeckers simply couldn’t understand opposition to C-10.
