PM Carney’s New Cabinet
Canadian Cabinet Reshuffle
Prime Minister Carney unveiled a streamlined Cabinet today, reducing ministers from 39 to 29. The new Cabinet aims to redefine Canada's economic and security relationship with the United States while addressing domestic economic challenges.
The 29-member cabinet is gender-balanced and regionally representative, including voices from all parts of Canada. Three Indigenous leaders hold full cabinet portfolios, reinforcing the government's commitment to reconciliation.
The Carney government now faces a demanding economic agenda: managing increasingly complex U.S. trade relations, tackling persistent Canadian affordability challenges, addressing a domestic housing shortfall, and developing an innovation strategy that positions Canadian industries competitively amid global technological disruption and the clean-energy transition. The creation of a dedicated Artificial Intelligence ministry signals the government's recognition that Canada's economic future depends on embracing emerging technologies while protecting and transitioning traditional extraction and manufacturing sectors of the economy.
