Who’s who in the federal cabinet shuffle: new faces, and old faces in new places
OTTAWA — David Lametti loves the law, he said just after being sworn in as Canada’s new justice minister.
“I know it’s a cliche to say that, but I do,” the 56-year-old said outside Rideau Hall. “I have done my best to teach and to think about the ways in which law has an impact on our daily lives. I’ll continue to do that.”
Lametti is the child of Italian immigrants. As a boy, he went to construction sites with his father, a carpenter who founded his own construction company. His mother was a caterer in the Niagara region after his father’s early death.
