Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has shuffled his cabinet after a chaotic week for the Liberals that saw two ministers step down and lingering questions about his own future.
Eight new ministers were sworn in and four other existing cabinet members were reassigned at a ceremony presided over by Gov. Gen. Mary Simon at Ottawa’s Rideau Hall on Friday.
Ottawa-area MP David McGuinty — the brother of former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty — is the new public safety minister, replacing Dominic LeBlanc, who was sworn in earlier this week as the finance minister.
McGuinty is chair of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians.

Terry Duguid replaces Carla Qualtrough as the sport minister.
