Canada’s Trudeau names new Cabinet, Freeland is deputy PM

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau poses with Chrystia Freeland after she was sworn-in as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs during a ceremony at Rideau Hall on November 20, 2019 in Ottawa, Canada.

Trudeau also named Freeland to be intergovernmental affairs minister. The role oversees relations with the provinces at a time of increasing dissatisfaction in western Canada. Trudeau’s Liberal party failed to elect one member of Parliament in oil-rich Alberta and Saskatchewan. Voters in the rest of Canada elected members who vowed to tackle climate change.

Quebec lawyer Francois-Philippe Champagne will leave his current post at the infrastructure ministry to take over from Freeland at foreign affairs. He takes over as Canada speaks robustly in defence of human rights and the international rule of law.
