PM to unveil new roster of ministers in sizable shakeup

Later this morning at Rideau Hall, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be unveiling who he's selected to be a part of his second minority Liberal cabinet, in what sources have told CTV News will include new faces in several key positions.

Veteran Liberal Marc Garneau will be shuffled out of cabinet, opening up the foreign affairs portfolio. He may not be the only senior cabinet member to be removed, according to sources.

Jonathan Wilkinson will be shuffled from environment to natural resources, and long-time environmental activist Steven Guilbeault will become the new environment minister.

Deciding to put new faces in the foreign affairs and environment files comes just days before Trudeau’s trip to the G20 Summit in Italy and then the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Scotland.

Maintaining gender parity and enhancing regional representation have been priorities for Trudeau and his team in sculpting this cabinet roster.
