UPDATED: Trudeau moving three ministers in latest shuffle cdnpoli
CTV News has learned that Lawrence MacAulay will move from Agriculture to Veterans Affairs, and Marie-Claude Bibeau will shift to Agriculture from International Development, and Status of Women Minister Maryam Monsef will pick up the international development portfolio. The shuffle is Trudeau’s second in less than two months.
The prime minister also moved three veteran ministers: Ontario MP Jane Philpott, to president of the Treasury Board and minister of digital government; Newfoundland MP Seamus O'Regan, to minister of Indigenous services; and Wilson-Raybould, to minister of veterans affairs. The shuffle marks the end of a tumultuous week for the prime minister. On Wednesday, Wilson-Raybould testified before the House of Commons Justice Committee that, as the former attorney general, she faced a sustained effort for months by nearly a dozen government officials pressuring her to intervene in the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin.
