Canada PM Trudeau reshuffles his cabinet today

Trudeau has moved around several current ministers in the cabinet.

He has also promoted number of MPs to his cabinet.

Following the swearing-in ceremony, Trudeau insisted that the new cabinet will continue to work for growing the economy, strengthening middle class and creating new opportunities for all.

The PM has been quoted by CTV News, "Whether we’re diversifying our trading partnerships, expanding tourism, or promoting Canadian exports, our focus will be on creating new jobs and opportunities for the middle class and for people working hard to join it."

He also said they would continue to work closely with provinces, territories and municipalities on shared issues like climate change and inter-provincial trade.

Trudeau has been further quoted by CTV News as saying, "When Conservatives across the country are playing the fear card, we need strong reassuring forces to counter that and demonstrate that the safety and security of Canadians and their communities is something that we will never flinch on, that we will continue to deliver, and we will deliver in a way that pulls Canadians together instead of dividing them."

Now the cabinet includes 35 members, 17 female and 18 male including Trudeau.
