Ottawa, May 13, 2025 — In a bold political move, Prime Minister Mark Carney has unveiled a major cabinet reshuffle, bringing in several new faces and streamlining the leadership team to better align with the government’s priorities in a rapidly changing global landscape.
The revamped cabinet, announced Tuesday morning, includes 23 ministers — a reduction from previous administrations — signaling a shift toward efficiency and focused governance. Carney emphasized that the new team represents both experience and fresh energy to address the nation’s economic, social, and global challenges.
Key positions have been reshuffled, with seasoned leaders taking on new roles and rising political figures stepping into prominent positions. Notable changes include new appointments in the finance, immigration, innovation, and justice portfolios, reflecting the Prime Minister’s commitment to economic growth, public service reform, and progressive values.
“This is a team built to deliver results,” Carney said during the announcement. “Canadians expect action, accountability, and a clear vision for the future — and that’s exactly what this cabinet is designed to provide.”
The shakeup also marks the departure of several high-profile ministers from previous administrations, making room for emerging voices and a broader representation of Canada’s diverse population. Carney praised outgoing ministers for their service, noting that the changes are part of a larger strategy to adapt to new realities at home and abroad.
The new cabinet is expected to hit the ground running, with major policy announcements anticipated in the coming weeks across key areas including economic strategy, climate resilience, and healthcare reform.
