Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has revealed his new cabinet

Sean Fraser appointed to Trudeau cabinet as immigration minister

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has considerably shaken up his cabinet roster, naming new ministers to key portfolios including defence, health, foreign affairs, immigration and environment.

Central Nova Scotia MP Sean Fraser has been appointed the new minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship. Fraser, a 37-year-old lawyer, is Nova Scotia’s lone representative in the federal cabinet.

Marco Mendicino will leave his duties as minister of immigration to take over Bill Blair’s previous role at Public Safety.

“Canadians need a strong and diverse Cabinet to deliver on their priorities and keep Canada moving forward for everyone. This team will finish the fight against COVID‑19, deliver on $10-a-day child care, help Canadians find a home of their own, tackle the climate crisis, and continue to advance reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. Together, we will work tirelessly to build a better future for all Canadians.”

The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
