Trudeau to shuffle cabinet today following Treasury Board president’s departure
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to shuffle his cabinet today to account for the sudden resignation of Nova Scotia MP Scott Brison from his post as Treasury Board president.
Montreal MP David Lametti, a former McGill University law professor, walked into Rideau Hall in advance of the swearing-in, a sign he’s due to be promoted from his position as parliamentary secretary to the industry minister.
Insiders confirm that Indigenous Services Minister Jane Philpott will take over for Brison, and Veterans Affairs Minister Seamus O’Regan is also on the move.
