Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce a significant cabinet shuffle today, according to CTV News. The move follows the unexpected resignation of former finance minister Chrystia Freeland, which has added to the growing challenges faced by the Liberal government.
The cabinet reshuffle is expected to fill several vacant positions. In recent months, multiple ministers have stepped down or decided not to seek re-election, leaving gaps in Trudeau’s leadership team. Some ministers have also been managing multiple roles, increasing the pressure for a change in the lineup.
Today’s ceremony at Rideau Hall will be Trudeau’s first public appearance since Freeland’s resignation on Monday, which caused political turmoil. Her departure has sparked calls for Trudeau to step down, with both critics within and outside the Liberal Party questioning his leadership.
While the exact details of the shuffle remain unclear, it is seen as a crucial step for Trudeau to stabilize his government and address growing dissent.
