Ottawa: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced a reshuffle of his cabinet, introducing eight new ministers and adjusting the roles of four existing ministers.
The updated cabinet consists of 38 ministers, alongside the Prime Minister, maintaining an equal gender representation that aligns with the standard established in 2015, according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s office.
This cabinet change follows the recent resignation of former deputy prime minister and finance minister Chrystia Freeland, with a total of nine ministers stepping down or choosing not to run in the upcoming federal election since July.
In a press release, Trudeau emphasized that the new cabinet will focus on key priorities for Canadians, such as improving affordability and boosting economic growth. The team will continue efforts in areas like housing, child care, and school food, aiming to enhance financial support for citizens.
New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh announced on social media that his party intends to introduce a motion of non-confidence aimed at bringing down the Trudeau government during the next session of the House of Commons, which resumes on January 27.
Amid these developments, Trudeau is expected to contemplate his future as the leader of the Liberal Party over the holiday season.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, whose party appears to be positioned for a significant majority in a potential upcoming election, stated plans to request that the governor general reconvene parliament urgently to enable lawmakers to vote on the government’s fate.
