Cabinet: Changes and Cabinet Table

cabinet: The shuffle puts the size of the federal cabinet at 36 members, including Trudeau, according to CTV. This is the largest number of seats around the cabinet table during this government's term in office. The changes were, in the prime minister's mind, an opportunity to put strong performers in important files and continue to demonstrate our capacity to deliver on a broad range of priorities for Canadians, Trudeau said, speaking to reporters after unveiling his changes to the ministerial roster. The gender balance is retained with the changes. This spot needed filling after long-time MP Scott Brison announced last week that he was resigning from cabinet because he will not be seeing re-election in 2019. Trudeau moved minister Jane Philpott into the newly-vacated role as president of the Treasury Board and minister of digital government. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
