There has been another shake-up in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet. It was announced on Friday evening that Trudeau had replaced the role of Leader of the Government in the House of Commons.
Karina Gould has been removed from the position, which she held since 2023. In her place, Steven MacKinnon has been named as the Leader of the Government in the House, a role which he will perform concurrently with the role of Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and labour.
While a reason for Gould’s replacement had not been provided, she is currently running in the Liberal leadership race in a bid to become Canada’s next prime minister. As part of that leadership bid, Gould notably indicated that she disagreed with the increased capital gains inclusion rate, and that she would freeze the coming carbon tax increase in April.
