Freeland to be transport minister, Guilbeault Quebec lieutenant in Carney cabinet: sources

Prime minister-designate aiming for leaner cabinet of 15 to 20 members

Catharine Tunney, Louis Blouin · CBC News · Posted: Mar 13, 2025 11:43 AM EDT | Last Updated: 5 minutes ago


Public Services and Procurement Minister Jean-Yves Duclos and former Liberal leadership candidate Karina Gould will not be in Mark Carney's cabinet, sources tell CBC News.

But a source with knowledge of the decision told CBC News that Carney has invited another former leadership rival, Chrystia Freeland, to become transport minister.

Staunch carbon tax defender and Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault is also being shuffled into a new role, according to sources with knowledge of the decision.

The Montreal MP and former Greenpeace activist, who has held the environment portfolio since 2021, will get an enlarged role as Quebec lieutenant (a role formerly held by Duclos) and a new portfolio that includes biodiversity and Canadian heritage, according to a source with knowledge of the decision.

However, he will no longer be the face of the fight against climate change.

During a news conference Thursday in his riding of Laurier-Sainte-Marie, Guilbeault called serving as environment minister "the privilege of a lifetime," but wouldn't confirm or deny if he was leaving the role.

Canada's next prime minister appears intent on marking a clear break with the Trudeau-era consumer carbon tax, a policy Guilbeault has aggressively defended. That made him a polarizing minister in parts of the country, and he often faced off against Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

Carney, once a proponent of carbon pricing, campaigned on dropping the carbon tax and repeated in his acceptance speech Sunday to "immediately eliminate the divisive consumer carbon tax on families, farmers and small- and medium-sized businesses."

Guilbeault suggested earlier this year that he's open to replacing the federal scheme if candidates can propose new measures to help Canada achieve its climate targets. Guilbeault has blamed Conservative "disinformation" for making the measure toxic to Canadians.

"I continue to believe the consumer portion of carbon pricing is a sound piece of public policy," he said Thursday.

Conservative deputy leader Melissa Lantsman said keeping Guilbeault in cabinet shows "Carney is proving he is just like Justin" and will make life more unaffordable for families."

Slimmer cabinet expected​

Sources with knowledge of Carney's plans have said he's aiming for a more svelte cabinet to confront the trade war launched by U.S. President Donald Trump and the ensuing economic uncertainty.

Those sources said Carney's team will be in the range of 15 to 20 ministers — paring down from the 37 members in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet. Sources also told CBC News that while Gould, a former Trudeau cabinet member, has not been offered a portfolio — she intends to run again.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly is keeping her job, according to sources with knowledge of the decision.

Other key players on the Canada-U.S. relations file, like Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne, are also expected to keep their jobs.

Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Gary Anandasangaree, who also serves as minister of northern affairs, is set to become the justice minister and Canada's attorney general, sources told CBC News.

Several ministers in the Trudeau cabinet have said they won't run in the next election, including Justice Minister Arif Virani, Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge and, as of Thursday, Health Minister Mark Holland.

At an event on Thursday, Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon did not say whether he's received a call about his future from Carney's team, deferring to Friday's big event.

He did suggest the team will be made up of experienced members.

"This is a group of people that needs to be ready to face the threats that we are facing from the United States on the trade front," he said.

"This is an experienced group of ministers. This is a group of people who will take with them the great pride and the great determination that Canadians are showing."

Friday's transition will begin when Trudeau meets with Governor General Mary Simon to resign and recommend that she ask the new leader to form a government and new ministry.

Since winning the leadership in a blowout victory on Sunday, Carney has been in transition and security briefings and meetings, including with Canada's ambassador to the U.S., Kirsten Hillman, and RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme.

While an election is expected imminently, Carney is squeezing in an official trip overseas. A source with knowledge of the trip says Carney is expected to travel to London and Paris next week. The trip to Europe comes as a trade war plays out with the U.S.

Not only does Carney take the reins during unstable times, he has to decide whether he'll send Canadians to the polls right away. It's widely believed he'll call an election before March 24, when Parliament is scheduled to return, meaning Canadians would vote in late April or early May.

Carney does not hold a seat in the House of Commons. A source close to Carney said a decision hasn't been made yet on the riding where he'll be the Liberal candidate.

Besides building his cabinet, Carney's inner circle is coming into focus.

Sources with knowledge of Carney's transition team told CBC News Tim Krupa has been tapped as policy director, a role he held during the leadership campaign. He ran as the Liberal candidate in Kelowna-Lake Country in 2021, losing to Conservative Tracy Gray.

The Oxford grad previously worked as an adviser in the Prime Minister's Office during Trudeau's early years before working as an economist at Goldman Sachs.

Former cabinet minister Marco Mendicino, who has said he won't seek re-election, is serving as Carney's chief of staff as he transitions from leadership campaign mode to governing the country.

A spokesperson for Carney said Mendicino's appointment is a temporary one through this transition period.

Former justice minister David Lametti is also helping with Carney's transition.

Earlier this week, Radio-Canada reported that Carney's team has approached former Quebec premier Jean Charest to offer him a role.

The nature of the position is unknown. But according to Radio-Canada sources with knowledge of the discussion, Charest has no intention of becoming a minister.

Charest, who was instrumental in setting in motion the Canada-European Union free trade agreement (CETA), is currently a member of Trudeau's Council on Canada-U.S. Relations.

Miller, Duclos among ministers to be dropped from Carney’s new cabinet: sources​

By Rachel Aiello

When prime minister-designate Mark Carney unveils his first ever front bench at Rideau Hall on Friday, it will be substantially smaller than the version outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau left him.

CTV News has confirmed that among the ministers that are being dropped from cabinet are Public Services and Procurement Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister Marc Miller, who is also a longtime close personal friend of Trudeau.

Both Quebec Liberal MPs endorsed Carney in the leadership race and have held a series of cabinet portfolios over the years.

Duclos issued a lengthy statement on social media confirming he intends to run in the next election, and looks forward to working with Carney, stating his new leader “has my full confidence and gratitude.”

Carney said Thursday that he’s “building a government that will deliver what our country needs most.”

“We’re going to protect Canadians during this crisis and build a stronger economy for the future,” he said on “X”.

The ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. EDT on Friday. CTV News will have special live coverage.

Several current ministers are also expected to be removed, as they’ve already indicated they are not running for re-election.

A new addition to this category is Health Minister Mark Holland, who announced Thursday he wouldn’t be seeing re-election.

“It’s time to go home,” said the Ontario MP – who endorsed Chrystia Freeland in the leadership race – in a post declaring his decision.

Another Ontario MP leaving is International Trade Minister Mary Ng, who confirmed to reporters that Monday’s cabinet meeting was her last.

“To be able to be the longest-serving trade minister, to be there with my cabinet colleagues, to be with the prime minister, and reflect on the work has been really terrific and it’s been the honour of my life,” Ng said afterwards.

Other current cabinet ministers who have said they aren’t seeking re-election are Justice Minister Arif Virani, Canadian Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge, Emergency Preparedness Minister Harjit Sajjan, Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay, Women and Gender Equality and Youth Minister Marci Ien, and Rural Economic Development Minister Gudie Hutchings.

One minister who is set to be handed a new portfolio on Friday is Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault. Asked about his expected reassignment, the Quebec MP said his time overseeing Canada’s climate response has been “the privilege of a lifetime.”

“It is the prerogative of the prime minister to decide who will sit in cabinet,” he said.

Also not confirming one way or another is Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson.

Asked whether Canadians would see him at the Rideau Hall ceremony while on CTV News Channel’s Power Play Thursday, he said: “You know, as you probably know, that’s confidential one way or the other, and I may or may not see you tomorrow morning.”

The main players who hold portfolios central to managing U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, such as Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc, Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly, Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne, and Public Safety Minister David McGuinty, are running again and are expected to maintain front bench positions, though what specific portfolios remain to be seen.

It’s also not yet clear whether Carney intends to bring his leadership rivals and former cabinet ministers Freeland and Karina Gould back in the fold.

After days of behind-the-scenes preparation, the transition of power between Trudeau and Carney will be made official on Friday.

Trudeau will meet with Gov. Gen. Mary Simon privately, according to a senior government source. In that meeting he will officially resign and recommend that she ask Carney to form government and present a new cabinet.

The ministry Carney will be unveiling Friday is being viewed by many as a so-called “wartime cabinet,” in that it’s likely it will be the core group that’ll be in place during the widely anticipated snap spring election that will see MPs and those looking to join them, out on the hustings.

It is expected to be a considerably smaller group than the 36-person team Trudeau had as of his last shuffle just a few months ago.

OTTAWA — Mark Carney will be sworn in officially as prime minister and reveal the makeup of his first cabinet Friday morning — a team one government source said will not include Jean-Yves Duclos.

The source, who was not authorized to speak publicly, told The Canadian Press that Duclos was informed Thursday that he will no longer be minister of public services and procurement or the Liberal party's Quebec lieutenant.

In a social media post Thursday evening, Carney said he was "building a government that will deliver what our country needs most."

The ministers now playing key roles in Canada's response to U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war are expected to be part of Carney's cabinet, including Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne, Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Public Safety Minister David McGuinty.

Champagne appeared to confirm some of that accidentally in a news conference from Washington with LeBlanc Thursday night, when asked about whether the shuffle or expected election will impact the negotiations with the U.S.

"We will still be ministers during that period, or at least we'll see tomorrow.," he said, prompting LeBlanc's eyes to widen in surprise.

"Oh, oh, oof, that was a mistake," LeBlanc quipped.

Champagne shrugged off any sense he had broken protocol about announcing cabinet decisions ahead of time.

"No, no, no, there's a good chance," he said.

The two ministers were to return to Ottawa Thursday night in time for Friday's swearing in. Joly, who is in Charlevoix, Que., right now for the G7 foreign ministers meeting also must find her way back to Ottawa before 11 a.m. Friday to maintain her role.

Duclos, who has been a member of cabinet since 2015, is already nominated to run in the next federal election.

In a statement issued Thursday evening, Duclos didn't confirm that he won't be in cabinet but said he would now be able to devote "even more energy and time" to his work as an MP.

Duclos said he looks forward to working with Carney and that the incoming prime minister has his "full confidence and gratitude."

Duclos is likely not the only minister from Justin Trudeau's cabinet who will not be invited to Friday's 11 a.m. swearing-in ceremony at Rideau Hall.

"I think the signals have been coming forward that it will be a smaller cabinet," said Susan Smith, a Liberal commentator and the co-founder of Bluesky Strategy Group.

Trudeau's last cabinet had 37 members, including Trudeau himself.

Michael Wernick, the former clerk of the privy council, said in a recent interview that he expects several ministers will be "double-hatting," or carrying more than one portfolio, for the time being.

Some portfolios could be combined to reflect their departments.

The Heritage Department, for example, is home to five ministers responsible for heritage, sport, official languages, women and gender equality, and diversity, inclusion and persons with disabilities. Employment and Social Development Canada has six ministers.

Smith said the decisions Carney makes public on Friday will send a signal about where he wants to take the country.

"I think in this case it will be possible to signal both stability and a change in economic direction," she said.

Carney also needs to decide whether to give ministerial roles to his leadership rivals, former ministers Chrystia Freeland and Karina Gould.

During the leadership race, Freeland said she would offer Carney the position of finance minister in her government if she won. Carney hasn't made any such promises publicly.

"Both women acquitted themselves as ministers very effectively. Karina Gould is extremely well-liked, was very good as a House leader," Smith said.

Gould was invited to join Carney at an event with steelworkers in Hamilton on Wednesday, leading to speculation that she will have a cabinet seat.

A report from Radio-Canada on Thursday said Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault would be removed from his portfolio. He refused to confirm that report for reporters at a news conference in Montreal on Thursday.

"It remains the prime minister’s prerogative to decide who will or will not serve in his cabinet," Guilbeault said.

Guilbeault cited his track record, saying he thinks the government made historic progress on nature conservation and the fight against plastic pollution.

"I think we’ve truly changed the conversation in Canada on these issues in recent years," he said.

Guilbeault and the Trudeau government's environment policies were deeply unpopular in parts of Western Canada. Smith said moving him out of the environment portfolio would send "a huge message to the country, in particular to the energy sector — both the renewable energy and the traditional energy sector — that Mr. Carney's going to take a different approach, I think a more proactive and a more business approach."

Eight ministers from Trudeau's cabinet have said they won't run in the next election, and are unlikely to be on Carney's team.

They include Health Minister Mark Holland — who announced his plans not to run again late Thursday — Justice Minister Arif Virani, Women and Gender Equality and Youth Minister Marci Ien, Rural Economic Development Minister Gudie Hutchings, Trade Minister Mary Ng, Emergency Preparedness Minister Harjit Sajjan, Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge and Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay.

Agriculture has gained prominence lately as Trump takes aim at Canada's supply management system in the trade war.

Smith said MacAulay's departure creates an opening to add a minister from Alberta — something that also would send a signal that Carney's approach will be different.

This cabinet is almost certainly an interim cabinet that will be replaced after the spring election. Carney said during the leadership race that he will likely call an election before March 24, the date Parliament is set to resume.

When the election campaign begins, the federal government will go into what's known as caretaker mode. Cabinet ministers and the prime minister will retain their posts throughout the campaign.

If the Liberals win the election, Carney will be sworn in again. If they lose, he will resign and the winner will be invited to form a government.

The convention ensures the core functions of government keep operating during an election campaign.

Cabinet can make decisions about responding to the U.S. tariffs during the campaign, for example. It can also spend money under existing laws.

The guidelines published by the Privy Council Office before the 2021 election state that a government in caretaker mode should, to the extent possible, restrict itself to matters that are "routine, or non-controversial, or urgent and in the public interest, or reversible by a new government without undue cost or disruption, or agreed to by opposition parties."

The caretaker convention means that "it is incumbent upon a government to act with restraint during an election period."

Cabinet ministers must also take care to distinguish between their government work and partisan activities on the campaign trail, the PCO guidance says.
