Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to shuffle cabinet Friday
Shuffle will be small, involving handful of ministers, in bid to fill Veterans Affairs
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will shuffle his cabinet on Friday to fill the vacancy created by Jody Wilson-Raybould's departure over the SNC-Lavalin controversy.
A high-level government source tells CBC News that the shuffle will be small, involving no more than a handful of ministers. The source also said that the shuffle will be internal, and there will be no new ministers added to cabinet.
A second government source says some ministers have been called back to Ottawa to prepare for a Friday morning shuffle.
Trudeau has to fill Wilson-Raybould's post at Veterans Affairs. Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan has been acting in that role since Wilson-Raybould's resignation.
The former justice minister and attorney general of Canada only held the post for a month, having been moved there Jan. 14 after Scott Brison, the former president of the Treasury Board, retired from federal politics.
Wilson-Raybould told a parliamentary committee this week she believes she was shuffled out of the Justice Department because she refused to buckle to pressure from 11 officials — from the Prime Minister's Office and other departments — who wanted her to give SNC-Lavalin a way out of bribery and corruption charges.
The Quebec-based engineering and infrastructure company was seeking a Deferred Prosecution Agreement, or DPA, that would allow the firm to avoid criminal prosecution, providing it met a number of conditions.

Why bother. Resign and call an election. This is over for the Liberals.

LOL at the partisan Conservative theatrics
I can't wait to see the looks on all of the whiny conservative faces when they lose even worse next election.
This is the biggest bump you are getting...it is february lol.
It is a nothingburger to anyone that isn't a partisan lemming to begin with. It isn't even as big of scandal as all of the corruption between the Senate and Harper minions and Canadians didn't care about the CPC openly stealing from taxpayers to fund their party.
Our conservative media is doing its best to get their stooges back into power though.
Sadly there are no realistic voting options beyond Liberal or Conservative and Conservatism is in a sad and pathetic state right now and has lost its way by appealing to the lowest common denominator at every turn

Trudeau needs to shuffle himself out of cabinet and out the door.
David Amos
@Chris Hatherley Good luck with that

There is no short term fix for incompetence. Trudeau must resign.
Henry Starfield
@bryan cassidy Yes, he must, but this is not incompetence, this is breaking the law.

Not just resignation.
We need to tear down the whole crooked system and install blockchain democracy.

Too little, too late. He should do the right thing and resign. People are sick of his arrogance, buffoonery, shameless self promotion and his need to spend our hard earned dollars for his personal agenda. For goodness sake man, the jig is up.

Actually I’m a political omnivore. Little use for Harper. Scheer has a long way to go to be credible. I have written in the name of my dead cat last time. Depressed now politically. Freeland just dropped several notches today as well.

If Jack had been graced wth a longer life I might have given him a try. If Bob Raye had been more than a Liberal interm leader he might have gotten my vote. Looks like the dead cat is back in.

Cool, does the Shuffle include the position of PM?
Cheryl Prosyk
@Gordon More If only! If we could I would like the PM shuffled to China, because he really admires them and maybe they would give him a job in their parliament.

@Gordon More Good Point

How are the polls today CBC.....I see they haven't been posted......
Peter Bolivar
@James Whiting
Jeez. Give it time. They don't do polls every day. Plus, doing polls DURING a crisis is useless, as the polls are really volatile. Wait a few days...
Taking them now would be a waste of resources.

bren hynes
@Peter Bolivar poll on the east coast showed that over 30% of respondants would change their vote based on the SNC allegations
John Dagome
@bren hynes Yup, they would change it from NDP to Liberal.
Peter Bolivar
@bren hynes
I am not denying that. Jeex; obvious the Liberals are going to tank. Seriously tank. But a poll right now won't reflect that. When there is a major change in the political landscape, the polls take time to reflect that. There is a lag time of many DAYS, not hours.
A poll right now would underestimate how low the Liberals are.
Down vote all you want, but I am right on that. You guys seem to want instant gratification. It takes time for a change in views to be accurate.

@bren hynes Of that I have no doubt
Charles Smith
My MP (liberal) was on the radio today and said he had not watched the JWL testimony yet. How is that possible. It's your job dude...be better.
John Smith
@Charles Smith they saw it. They just don't want to talk about it because answering hard questions is hard
Kay McLeod
@John Smith How could they watch all that and still give the BS answers they've prepared for them? Safer not to watch. Kind of like skaters. If you have to follow the one that just got 6.0's straight across and got a standing ovation, you hide in the dressing room with strong headphones and go out and do your very best as if it never happened. Clean slate. It's the best they have. Too busy working for the people of Canada to watch.
David Amos
@Charles Smith "How is that possible."
Its not but he was incredibly dumb to claim such a thing on the radio
