Trudeau to shuffle cabinet Friday as pressure for him to resign remains

Dec 19, 2024 | 9:23 AM

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will shuffle his cabinet on Friday morning.

A government source confirms a swearing-in ceremony will take place at Rideau Hall.

This comes at the end of a tumultuous week that saw Trudeau lose his finance minister and face a new swell of pressure within his caucus for him to resign.

Before Chrystia Freeland’s bombshell resignation on Dec. 16 Trudeau had already been preparing a cabinet shuffle to replace five ministers who had told him they won’t be running in the next election.

He is also now expected to appoint a new public safety minister with Dominic LeBlanc now balancing that portfolio with the finance role he was given hours after Freeland’s departure.
