Not a single new face from British Columbia has been included in Justin Trudeau's latest cabinet reshuffle. The Prime Minister appointed three MPs from Ontario, including Ruby Sahota, one MP from Newfoundland and Labrador, two from Quebec, and one MP each from Manitoba and Nova Scotia.
Ruby Sahota, of Punjabi origin, has been entrusted with the portfolio of Democratic Institutions and will also oversee the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario. Sahota, who represents Brampton North, joined Justin Trudeau’s government in a previous cabinet.
It is noteworthy that this reshuffle comes at a time when all three major opposition parties are calling for Trudeau’s resignation. The NDP has also distanced itself from the crisis-ridden Liberals.
