Carneys new cabinet includes several rookie MPs, moves Anand to Foreign Affairs [Video]

Prime Minister Mark Carney has added many new faces to his cabinet and dropped several veterans, announcing a team he pledged will deliver new ideas and “decisive action” on key files such as trade, crime and the cost of living.

The new cabinet comprises a core group of 28 ministers and 10 secretaries of state.

The latter will not manage federal departments or attend all cabinet meetings. Instead, they have been assigned specific policy priorities, such as defence procurement, seniors and combatting crime.

Mr. Carney said in a statement Tuesday that the new cabinet is built to deliver change.

“Everyone is expected and empowered to show leadership – to bring new ideas, a clear focus, and decisive action to their work,” he said.

François-Philippe Champagne retains the Finance portfolio and takes on the additional role of Revenue Minister, a portfolio that had its own minister under former prime minister Justin Trudeau.
