Mark Carney's Leaner Cabinet

The formation of Mark Carney's cabinet signals a shift towards a smaller, more action-oriented government, reflecting a strategic response to current political dynamics, including Donald Trump's trade policies. With 24 ministers, the cabinet marks a significant reduction from previous iterations, emphasizing experience over new faces, as only three additions were made. This smaller cabinet is largely comprised of existing ministers, ensuring continuity in managing critical portfolios while potentially indicating a more centrist approach to governance. Some notable changes include François-Philippe Champagne's appointment as finance minister, highlighting Carney's intent to keep experienced politicians in influential roles during turbulent times.
