PM Carney unveils new Canadian cabinet

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday unveiled a 38-member cabinet — 28 ministers and 10 secretaries of state — which showcased a mix of new faces and experienced ministers to represent a “big change” from the prior Liberal government.Speaking outside of Rideau Hall, Carney promised to get rapidly to work with his new team. He said his cabinet is “smaller and more focused” than those of previous governments despite appointing roughly the same number of Privy Council members as Justin Trudeau’s final cabinet.Carney said half of his ministers are new in cabinet, and nine out of the 10 secretaries of state are new to a governing role.
