Embattled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has shuffled his cabinet in response to internal calls for his resignation, uncertainty regarding ministerial support, and an impending non-confidence vote from the NDP.
A number of MPs received cabinet promotions to fill vacancies and a few ministers’ portfolios were also redistributed. Notably, Nathaniel Erskine-Smith will become the new housing minister, Anita Anand is losing her position as president of the Treasury Board but maintains her position as transport minister and head of internal trade, and David McGuinty will be in charge of public safety.
