Speaking at a presser, Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc says that PM Justin Trudeau 'has the full support of Cabinet to stay on.' LeBlanc also claims that the PM told him that he would be the finance minister until the next election. There had been notable media speculation that former BoC and BoE Governor Mark Carney could be brought into gov't in any cabinet shuffle, but LeBlanc sought to shut this down speaking to Brunswick News saying that “Carney is not an option,” and “that discussion has concluded,”

  • Globe and Mail reports: "Mr. Trudeau is expected to replace Mr. LeBlanc at Public Safety, one of his prior responsibilities, and will also fill gaps being left by a slew of other cabinet ministers who have already announced they are not running again. The most recent is Housing Minister Sean Fraser. On Sunday, a senior Liberal source said Toronto MP Nate Erskine-Smith is expected to be promoted to cabinet in the coming shuffle, with housing a likely portfolio. He has previously said he won’t seek re-election but is now expected to stay on the ballot in a bid to keep his riding Liberal in the next campaign."
