Trudeau expected to appoint new labour minister as Seamus O’Regan steps down
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to appoint a replacement for outgoing labour minister Seamus O’Regan, whose resignation is effective today.
O’Regan announced Thursday he was stepping down from the Liberal cabinet for family reasons, though he intends to continue sitting as an MP until the next federal election.
Trudeau’s office did not indicate whether a new cabinet member would be appointed or if other ministers would be affected.
A source with knowledge of the matter, who would only speak under condition of anonymity, says a broader cabinet shuffle is not expected to take place.
