The Great Liberal Revamp: Justin Trudeau Unveils Details of Cabinet Shuffle Ahead of Next Election

In what is the biggest reorganization of Trudeau’s cabinet since taking office in 2015, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada appointed seven newcomers, demoted seven existing members, and reassigned the majority of other roles.

In the shuffle, a total of seven ministers were phased out, as Trudeau looks to elevate several backbench Liberal MPs from key electoral battlegrounds in Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia. Only eight ministers remained in their initial positions, underscoring the scale of Trudeau’s reshuffle. These included Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault.

Among the high-profile reshuffles was the transfer of Anita Anand from the Defense Ministry to the position of Treasury Board president, replaced by former police chief and emergency preparedness officer Bill Blair. Among other significant changes, close Trudeau associate Marc Miller was appointed as the minister of immigration, refugees, and citizenship, while Ahmed Hussen— who has gained an unfavourable reputation among Canadians over his handling of the housing crisis, was assigned to international development and replaced by former immigration minister Sean Fraser.

Randy Boissonnault became the new minister of employment, while Pablo Rodriguez takes over as transport minister. Meanwhile, Trudeau’s close friend and ally Dominic LeBlanc takes on public safety, while gaining responsibility for the Liberals’ contested gun control legislation and RCMP reform.

This reshuffle, which did not alter the size of the cabinet (38 members equally split by gender, excluding the prime minister), was likely orchestrated to diminish negativity surrounding Trudeau’s economic team on critical issues such as housing affordability and the transition to clean energy after eight years in power.
