Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has shuffled his cabinet for the third time in three months, this time to fill a vacancy left by the sudden departure of former Treasury Board president Jane Philpott, who resigned earlier this month over the government’s handling of the SNC-Lavalin affair.
The prime minister has appointed Joyce Murray as the new Treasury Board president and Minister of Digital Government. Murray, a Liberal MP from Vancouver critical of oil pipelines and tankers in British Columbia, previously served as parliamentary secretary for the portfolio she now oversees.
