Prime Minister Carney to name new cabinet on Tuesday
Prime Minister Mark Carney will name a new cabinet on Tuesday. He has said his cabinet ministers will be an equal number of men and women. The cabinet will be sworn in at 10:30 a.m. at Rideau Hall in Ottawa by Gov. Gen. Mary Simon. Carney won the Liberal leadership March 9, and he and his first slimmed-down cabinet were sworn in five days later. His first cabinet had just 24 members, compared to former prime minister Justin Trudeau's last 39-member cabinet. The prime minister has not confirmed the size of his second cabinet, but it may be slightly larger than his first in order to accommodate some newly elected Members of Parliament. Lawmakers will return to the House of Commons on May 26, just 28 days after Canadians voted in the federal election, the second-shortest time on record after the 21-day wait following the 1988 federal election. While Carney has been prime minister since March 14, he was only elected to the House of Commons April 28. During the campaign Carney promised take quick action on a number of files that are expected to make this return to Parliament busy from the start. Some of those promises include removing federal barriers to interprovincial trade by Canada Day and rolling out a "Canada Strong Pass" that will provide youth 17 and under free access to national galleries and museums along with free seats on Via Rail when travelling with their parents. Carney has also promised to make access to national parks and historic sites free this summer, along with reduced pricing for camping access.
