Canada PM Justin Trudeau to reshuffle his cabinet
Toronto/IBNS: Expecting an impending cabinet shuffle to take place as early as Wednesday Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has reportedly called ministers back to Ottawa for meetings.
Among those who have reportedly been asked to return to Ottawa are: Dominic LeBlanc, currently minister of intergovernmental affairs; and Ginette Petitpas Taylor, the minister of official languages.
Expected to be the biggest change to Trudeau’s cabinet since October 2021, one month after the Liberals were elected to a second minority mandate, the shuffle coming ahead of a scheduled cabinet retreat next month in P.E.I. will also put the prime minister’s team in place for the next federal election.
Meanwhile, Public Services and Procurement Minister Helena Jaczek and Mental Health and Addictions Minister Carolyn Bennett have both announced they will not seek re-election.
On Tuesday morning Omar Alghabra, minister of transport, made a similar announcement.
