The Twenty-Ninth Canadian Ministry is the Cabinet , chaired by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau , that began governing Canada shortly before the opening of the 42nd Parliament . The original members were sworn in during a ceremony held at Rideau Hall on November 4, 2015. Those who were not already members of the privy council were sworn into it in the same ceremony. The Cabinet currently consists of 35 members including Trudeau, with 17 women and 18 men.[ 2] When the ministry was first sworn in, with 15 men and 15 women (aside from Trudeau), it became the first gender-balanced cabinet in Canadian history.[ 3]
Trudeau has carried out three major cabinet shuffles : one in 2018, one in 2021, and another in 2023.
On October 26, 2021, one month after the 2021 Canadian federal election that gave the governing Liberal Party a second minority mandate; the ministry underwent a cabinet shuffle, resulting in many promotions, demotions, and removals from cabinet.

Cabinet shuffles
2018 shuffle
On 18 July 2018, Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau carried out a significant reshuffle of his ministry. This included the adding of 5 new ministry positions, expanding the previous size of cabinet from 30 to 35. The cabinet remained gender balanced .[ 8] [ 9]
The appointment of Bill Blair as the new Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction was praised by Opposition Immigration Critic Michelle Rempel , in response to an increase of illegal crossings of the Canada–United States border .[ 10] The Deputy Leader of the Opposition Lisa Raitt called the reshuffle a "desperate attempt to hit the reset button before the next election".[ 8]
The reshuffle was labeled by CBC News as Trudeau's re-election kickoff for the 2019 federal election .[ 11]

2024 crisis
The closing months of 2024 saw a wave of resignations in Trudeau's cabinet. On September 19, 2024, Minister of Transport Pablo Rodriguez resigned to run for leadership of the Quebec Liberal Party .[ 19] On November 20, 2024, Alberta MP Randy Boissonnault resigned following allegations that he ran a business seeking federal contracts and falsely claimed to be Indigenous .[ 20] On December 15, 2024, Housing Minister Sean Fraser announced his intention to leave the federal cabinet during the next shuffle, citing personal reasons.[ 21]
On December 16, 2024, Chrystia Freeland resigned as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance , hours before she was due to release the government's fall economic statement.[ 22] She was replaced by Dominic LeBlanc , who would temporarily retain his role as Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities .[ 23] Freeland was often nicknamed the "minister of everything", and widely seen as a potential successor to Trudeau for the leadership of the Liberal Party .[ 24] [ 25]
In her resignation letter, Freeland reported Trudeau had asked her to resign as finance minister and that she would be offered another Cabinet position. She instead decided to resign altogether from his Cabinet, saying that "to be effective, a Minister must speak on behalf of the Prime Minister and with his full confidence. In making your decision, you made clear that I no longer credibly enjoy that confidence."[ 26]
Freeland's resignation came amid threats from the incoming Trump administration to impose 25% tariffs upon Canada,[ 27] as well as Freeland's reported opposition to Trudeau's promise of $250 cheques to working Canadians who earned $150,000 or less in 2023.[ 28] In her letter, Freeland implicitly referred to this proposal as a "costly political gimmick" and argued that the Canadian government should "[keep] our fiscal powder dry today, so we have the reserves we may need for a coming tariff war."[ 29]
The resignation raised speculation as to the future of Trudeau's leadership.[ 27] [ 30] The economic statement was eventually released at 4:11 PM EST that same day, showing a deficit of $61.9 billion for 2023-24, exceeding Freeland's target of $40.1 billion or less, and left Trump's tariff threats largely unaddressed.[ 31]
