Patty Hajdu will stay on as minister of Indigenous Services Canada (ISC). Her role was announced at Rideau Hall in Ottawa on Friday morning where Mark Carney was sworn in as prime minister.
Hajdu has been minister of ISC since 2021. She’s recently come under fire from First Nations for her handling of the Jordan’s Principle file.
Carney pared down his cabinet to 23 from 37 under Justin Trudeau.
Gary Anandasangaree holds on to his role as minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs and also becomes the minister of Justice Canada and Attorney General of Canada.
David McGuinty keeps his job at Public Safety, meaning he’s still in charge of the RCMP.
Joanne Thompson is the new minister for Fisheries and Oceans Canada, better known as DFO, and will deal with Mi’kmaw fishing rights along with salmon farming issues on the west coast.
Terry Duguid is now minister of Environment and Climate Change.
Mi’kmaw MP Jaime Battiste, who withdrew from the Liberal leadership race and immediately endorsed Carney, did not get a role in cabinet.
