Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced a cabinet shuffle aimed at putting a greater focus on the economy. Trudeau, who has been in power since 2015, will make the formal announcement at Rideau Hall, the official residence of the Governor General.
The shuffle will see new ministers sworn in and a press conference held to discuss the changes. The move comes as the cost of living has become a major issue for voters and the official opposition Conservatives are ahead in the polls. Trudeau plans to add more strength to the core economic files and put experienced people into new roles to improve messaging on the economy.
The timing of the next election is uncertain, as Trudeau commands only a parliamentary minority and relies on support from the New Democrats to govern. The cabinet shuffle is seen as a way to prepare for a potential campaign. The shuffle is expected to leave heavy hitters such as Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne, and Foreign Minister Melanie Joly in their current roles.
However, seven ministers are expected to be replaced, including Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino and Justice Minister David Lametti. The shuffle is part of Trudeau’s plan to put a greater focus on the economy and address concerns about high inflation and unaffordable housing.
The government’s spending has been criticized by the right-of-center Conservatives, who blame it for the current economic issues. Trudeau’s cabinet shuffle is aimed at addressing these concerns and putting the economy at the forefront of his government’s agenda. The shuffle is also seen as a way to energize the Liberal Party and improve its chances in the next election.
Trudeau’s government has faced criticism for its handling of the economy and the cost of living, and the cabinet shuffle is seen as a way to address these concerns and regain voter confidence.
The new ministers will bring fresh energy and ideas to key roles, and they will be ready to hit the campaign trail when the time comes. The shuffle is expected to be a major shake-up of the cabinet, with experienced ministers being moved to new roles and new faces being brought in to address the economic challenges facing the country.
