Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s first cabinet in 2015 had 30 ministers. A few years later, he expanded that to 35. Now, with a 38-member cabinet, the government missed a good opportunity to scale back on the size of cabinet as a small gesture in acknowledging it is serious about addressing the ever-increasing deficit. At first glance, the varied selection of cabinet members appears more about checking off the right boxes, as they relate to Trudeau’s personal priorities, than they are with Canada’s economic well-being. The minister’s mandate letters will hopefully offer a better indication of what Canadians may expect.
