International Trade Minister Mary Ng announced on Feb. 10 that she will not seek re-election, becoming the latest cabinet member to step away from politics following some high-profile departures.

Ng, who has represented the Ontario riding of Markham—Thornhill since 2017, announced her decision in a social media post. While she did not provide specific reasons for her decision, Ng said it followed “careful reflection” and discussions with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
