Four ministers announce they won’t seek re-election ahead of anticipated Trudeau cabinet shuffle
At least seven ministers are expected to be moved out of cabinet portfolios and new faces will be brought on board, with Defence Minister Anita Anand moving into an economic portfolio, in a significant shuffle to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s front bench.
The source also said Ms. Anand, seen to be one of the government’s strongest performers, will move into an economic portfolio. Pablo Rodriguez, currently Heritage Minister, will be taking over the transport file, while Sport Minister Pascale St-Onge will move into heritage, according to the source. The team will be tasked with immediately getting to work, the official added, noting that for the next two years of its mandate, the government will look at Canada’s position in the global economy and supporting Canadians during this time. The economic team will focus on housing and affordability and policies that help Canada build a stronger, cleaner economy, the official said.
Ms. Murray, who represents the British Columbia riding of Vancouver Quadra, said Tuesday that her decision not to run came after much thought and reflection. She holds the fisheries portfolio in cabinet and was first elected as an MP in 2008. She previously served as digital government minister and as president of the Treasury Board.
Ms. Jaczek, the minister for Public Services and Procurement who represents the riding of Markham-Stouffville, also said Tuesday she will not run again.
