Immigration: Members Of Parliament

Hockey Coach Dept: Among the 38 ministers unveiled Wednesday morning during a ceremony at Rideau Hall, there were nine new faces, a pair of snubs and several big promotions, particularly for MPs from Quebec, according to Montreal Gazette. "Any hockey coach would tell you that if a team is going to keep winning over time it must maintain a core of veterans and then gradually blend in new talent," he said. "We have many new members of Parliament who are very promising," Harper added. " But I didn't want to make too many additional changes unless I had to." Prime Minister Stephen Harper's new cabinet is not only his largest but also his most diverse, with ministers plucked from every part of the country chosen to represent their region and also their ethnicity, religion and gender. Harper told reporters there were many worthy candidates, some left on the sidelines, but he believes he picked the right mix of experience and new blood. As reported in the news.
