Swearing-In Ceremony of the 23rd Prime Minister of Canada and the 29th

The lead-up to Wednesday’s cabinet reveal is rife with speculation, and the Liberals have kept their decisions tightly under wraps.

Sources told CTV News that choices for the cabinet were locked in by the time Trudeau and his wife took their children trick-or-treating in Ottawa on Saturday night.

As for Trudeau’s promise to have 50 per cent women in the cabinet, Johns says they will be picked based on their merit and not because they are women.

Trudeau, whose party defeated the ruling Conservatives by winning 184 out of 338 seats in the newly expanded Canadian House of Commons, will unveil his new cabinet on Wednesday morning.

ACCORDING to The Star factors to select members for the cabinet included “the size of the cabinet, gender equality, ethnic diversity, regional distribution and a balance of new and veteran MPs, but leaning to young and new versus old and experienced”. It is also expected to include a mix of veteran politicians and newcomers.

Members of the public are invited to be on the grounds of Rideau Hall as of 9 a.m. on the day of the ceremony to witness the arrival of the Prime Minister-designate and members of the ministry. Many wonder how Mr Trudeau, a newcomer to politics, managed to win the votes, form a majority government and become the Prime Minister-Elect of Canada. “I look forward to working with Mr. Trudeau and his government, in addressing key issues of importance to the Ukrainian Canadian community”, Mr. Grod noted.
