As his Liberal administration gets ready for the next election, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced a big shift to his cabinet, emphasizing an emphasis on housing and affordability. Approximately three-quarters of the cabinet’s portfolios have changed hands, and seven new ministers have been appointed to take the place of the seven departing ones.
The middle class, economic expansion, and job creation are the three main priorities of the reset, according to the Liberal government. According to Trudeau, his administration has had to deal with challenging global events like the conflict in Ukraine, eroding democracy abroad, and attempts by foreign powers to influence domestically. He also brought up the possibility of a global economic downturn as a result of persistently high inflation and rising interest rates everywhere.
New cabinet
Canada had the lowest inflation rate among the G7 countries in June, at 2.8%. To assist Canadians in navigating global difficulties, Trudeau claimed that his cabinet, which is full of “fresh energy,” will bring new voices, abilities, and experiences to the table. By October 2025, the next federal election must be held, though it may be called earlier.
The reorganization shows that the administration is aware of various ministries’ dysfunction, including allegations of foreign meddling, immigration problems, housing affordability, and passport processing. The high-profile changes show that the shuffle is equally concerned with national security and the economy.
