Two sources with knowledge of the situation say federal Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan is stepping down from cabinet and will not be seeking re-election.
A Liberal Party source says O'Regan is expected to resign as minister at a cabinet meeting Friday.
Another source with knowledge on the matter says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will announce a replacement for the position, but a broader cabinet shuffle is not expected.
O'Regan will remain the MP representing the Newfoundland riding of St. John's South Mount Pearl until the next federal election, set to take place by the fall of 2025.
O'Regan, 53, was elected as a member of Parliament in 2015 and has served as a minister since 2017, overseeing several portfolios.
Sources say a statement from O'Regan is expected later today.
