New cabinet will be Prime Minister Mark Carney’s second — but his first since being elected. It is expected to be small and focused, according to an official with the Prime Minister’s Office.
The 24 new names include Shafqat Ali, Jill McKnight, Tim Hodgson, Eleanor Olszewski, Mandy Gull-Masty, Joël Lightbound, Gregor Robertson, Evan Solomon, Wayne Long and Nathalie Provost.
Thirteen are newly elected MPs. There are 10 secretaries of state, nine of whom are new faces.
Carney’s first cabinet was composed of 24 ministers — 11 women and 13 men, including himself. Trudeau’s last cabinet had 39 when sworn in.
There will be a core group of senior ministers and a secondary group of more junior ministers, with smaller groups of staff and no new ministry created for them.
The swearing-in ceremony at Rideau Hall is expected to begin at 10:30 a.m. ET.
