Subtitles section

A major political shake-up is coming to Parliament Hill.

CBC News has learned seven ministers will be dropped when the Prime Minister shuffles his cabinet tomorrow.

A shake-up to refocus his A-team on the economy and get ready for the next election.

I've always known this job was temporary and the question for me was, do I leave on my own terms?

The Minister of Transport is among those leaving cabinet saying he will not seek re-election.

Omar Al-Ghabra is just ahead.

Also, a high profile and highly trusted minister is changing jobs to help with that focus on the economy, while others are being removed from cabinet entirely.

We've got the scoop just ahead.

With seven ministers out, some new faces, some fresh faces will be promoted.

So who's getting in and will those moves pay off?

We will have extensive coverage and analysis of tomorrow's cabinet shuffle throughout the show and we begin with Catherine Cullen, the host of CBC's political podcast, The House.

So Catherine, we've got a lot of developments on this today.

Walk us through what we know so far.

I mean, David, the big thing is, as you said, is how major this is, right?

The Radio-Canada, according to their sources, more than half of cabinet is going to have a new job.

You think about that moment at the start of university where your professor says, look to your left, look to your right, one of you isn't going to be here.

Seven ministers out, half of them with a new gig.

It's a major change.

Let's talk about the ones that are perhaps the most striking.

That Marco Mondicino would no longer be public safety minister, I don't think comes to a surprise as many folks, but that he would be out of cabinet entirely, which is what we're reporting, according to CBC sources,

A lot of your own reporting.

David Lamedi, justice minister, a very high profile post.

For him to be out of cabinet, also quite striking.

Mona Forche, Treasury Board president, of course, and somebody who oversaw that public service strike, a bit of a difficult time in the spring, also out.

Omar El-Gabra, as you said, you're going to be speaking to him on the show in a few minutes, also out.

He has come out and said he made the decision that he was not going to run in the next election.

That is also a theme that we've heard from a lot of the other folks who are leaving, talking about Procurement Minister Helena Jazik, Fisheries Minister Joyce Murray, as we heard yesterday, Mental Health and Addictions Minister Carolyn Bennett.

So, you know, that is a significant swath of cabinet.

It certainly does make way for a lot of new faces, but I think it also speaks to the degree to which the government felt that it needed to make a real change here, had some real problems to address.

Yeah, I mean, some of these ministers, we had indications remaining aren't Lamedi, and Forche really shocked me.

I had no indication that they would be going out the door.

So they're gone.

What are we learning about who is still in cabinet and where they might be going?

Yeah, well, we have been conducting some stakeouts of those meetings that the Prime Minister has been having with his cabinet.

We saw Sean Fraser, our CBC colleagues did, Bill Blair heading into those meetings, and Anita Anand, who you mentioned a moment ago.

She is, according to our sources, not going to be Defence Minister on the other side of this, which is really remarkable when you consider both Russia's war on Ukraine and how heavily involved she has been in Canada's contributions there.

Also the defence review, you know, there are recruitment problems.

There's a lot going on.

Exactly, a lot going on in the Canadian forces.

She's going to be moving to, we know, an economic portfolio.

So I think that is certainly going to be an important move to watch tomorrow.

But there are a lot of changes coming, right?

I mean, we're looking at a new Justice Minister.

We should say we do know some folks who are still staying in place, and those are big positions in the cabinet as well, right?

Chrystia Freeland,

Melanie Jolie, our colleagues at Radio-Canada now matching reporting that our colleagues at The Star have done, saying Francois-Philippe Champagne is also going to be staying in place.

Stephen Gilbeau.

So, you know, some of that core group staying, but really, this is a massive overhaul.

Yeah, and there's other reporting.

Look, the Toronto Star and Reuters, Anita Anand, Treasury Board, Bill Blair, Defence, leaving emergency preparedness.

Mark Holland to Health is some of the reporting, and The Globe is reporting Pascal St-Honche to the Heritage Portfolio, replacing Pablo Rodriguez, who's going to go to Transport.

Now, we haven't confirmed that independently, but it is out there in the age of social media, so we wanted to bring it up.

But like I just said, Catherine, a big shuffle, right?

Seven people out, which means if they replace one for one, seven new faces coming in, more than half of the portfolios will change or be restructured in some way.

What do we make of this kind of a reset and a shuffle of this magnitude?

Yeah, I mean, I think it really does speak to the extent to which, I mean, the government is, be it overtly or tacitly acknowledging that there's some real issues that need to change, and look at the areas where we are seeing change.

I mean, we're hearing from our sources that the emphasis is really supposed to be on the economy, although the industry minister and the finance minister are still staying in place.

But we know housing is going to be a big emphasis tomorrow.

They have really been hammered by Pierre Pauliev on that issue, and frankly Jagmeet Singh as well.

And more importantly than that, it's something that I think a lot of Canadians are just experiencing in their day-to-day life, be it the cost of rent, worries about, you know, renewing a mortgage.

Also on the security front, we should say, if indeed we're seeing changes for public safety, defense, emergency preparedness, I think that speaks to...

And justice.

It speaks to the degree to which the government feels it hasn't really gotten the handle it wants on those issues.

It's struggled under some of those files.

We know also foreign interference has been all over the place.

It speaks to all of that.

So some real big changes tomorrow.

I mean, no doubt we're going to be hearing a lot about how this is a fresh new face.

They're ready for whatever, you know, challenges may be in front of them, a changing world, all of that.

But I think today we're really focusing on the folks who are on their way out, and things that haven't gone the way that they've wanted it to.

Okay, Catherine, thanks for bringing us up to speed.

That's the CBC's Catherine Cullen.

We turn now to one of those ministers on their way out of cabinet.

Minister of Transport, Omar Elghabra, announced this morning that he is stepping down from his role and will not be running in the next federal election.

And he joins me now.

Minister Elghabra, welcome back to the show.

Great to be with you, David.

Thank you for the opportunity.

So we saw your video.

Tell me, why did you make this decision?

When did you make this decision?

David, this has been a very long process where I had to spend some time thinking about my future, thinking about my contribution to politics.

As you may know, I got first elected in 2006.

That's 18 years ago.

Six elections later, I've won four, I've lost two.

I've served as an MP for almost 11 years, as a minister for two and a half years.

And I've always known this job was temporary.

And the question for me was, do I leave on my own terms or do I wait till it's forced upon me?

And I decided that perhaps now is the time, given all those years of service, I've gained so much during those years.

And I think it's an opportunity for others to have an opportunity to serve the country.

You say leave before it was forced upon you.

Does that mean, were you worried you may be getting dropped in this cabinet shuffle or you could be defeated in the election?

Is that what you're talking about, those sort of things?

I mean, I guess, are you leaving on your own terms here or you think maybe you might have been dropped in the cabinet shuffle tomorrow?

I am leaving on my own terms, David.

And look, of course, I serve at the pleasure of the prime minister.

And I am honoured to have gained his confidence two and a half years and regained it again after the last election.

But when I say forced, you know, in politics, a lot of things can happen.

You name two of them, the prime minister choosing not to reappoint me, losing an election, but there are so many other factors that could happen in the election or in politics, I should say.

And, you know, I'm grateful that I've had the opportunity to serve with pride, with integrity.

And I thought that given the length of service that I have had, given the opportunities that I've had, this is probably as good of a time as any for me to decide to announce that I'm not running again.

So when did you inform Prime Minister Trudeau of this decision?

Last week.

Okay.

So you're one of seven ministers who are leaving for various reasons.

Either they're not running again like you or the prime minister felt the need to make a change.

We've yet to get a full explanation as to why some of the changes are being made.

What do you make of the size and scope of a shuffle like this?

Seven ministers out and more than half of the cabinet changing completely.

First of all, David, it's not unusual after many years of service that some politicians choose not to run again.

It is the natural progression of the life of a politician, but it's also a natural progression of any life of any government to reboot, to readjust, to reconfigure its cabinet.

And the prime minister and the government are in the process right now of rejigging the cabinet to focus on certain priorities that are important for Canadians.

So I think this is, of course, it's an interesting change to watch and to comment on, but I also would say it's a natural part of any government progression.

You know, they're looking at this as a reset, right?

To get ready to fight the next election.

This is gonna be the team that takes them into the next election.

What do you think needs to happen tomorrow to put the liberals on that footing that they are so desperately seeking?

You know, while we don't talk about COVID much, and thankfully we are not seeing a resurgence in the virus and its impact on our public health, even though it's still with us, but the impact that COVID had caused is still with us.

And our country, just like the rest of the world, is going through an extraordinary period of time.

We're seeing it happen all over the world.

Inflation, economic uncertainty, a rising cost of living.

And our government has been focused on supporting Canadians during this unusual time.

And to a large degree with success.

I mean, we're seeing one of the lowest, if not the lowest inflation rate in the G7. We're seeing one of the better economic growth rates in the G7. Having said all of that, people are still feeling the impact.

And of course, the government needs to respond to those anxieties, need to respond to those concerns.

And our government has been doing so.

And of course, there's always room to keep fighting what we're confronting and keep coming up with new ideas, with new solutions.

You know, one of the things that struck me about your time in politics, Minister, is the social media videos you would do, reading the mean tweets and some of the just awful, despicable comments that were directed at you,

You know, as a cabinet minister, as a Muslim.

How did you find the ability just to deal with that?

And does that sort of toxicity, did that play any kind of a role in your decision?

You're at the end of your time in elected politics.

David, first of all, I am proud of my journey, not only in Canada, but in politics.

I came to Canada as an international student on my own, without my family.

And to, you know, I studied engineering, I studied business, and to find myself later on sitting at the cabinet table is something that I will forever be proud of.

And it's a testament to Canadians and to Canada.

But of course, there are a small number of people who are, you know, happy to promote toxicity online.

And I am sensing that there's a rise in temperature.

And unfortunately, it's being fed by mainstream politicians who are misleading the public by first, as they call, what do they call it?

Anger farming, rage farming, and at the same time, pretending that there are some magic buttons that anyone can push to solve all of those problems.

So while I found strength because of support around me, because of my friends, because of my colleagues, but I'm worried about the future generation who want to consider running for office.

I'm worried that a young woman who's contemplating a future in politics looks at this environment and second guesses herself or changes her mind, which is really unfortunate because the beauty of our democracy in Canada is that we invite everyone to participate,

Whether they want to run or work or participate.

And we should not let the minority, the small, small minority have a veto over those hardworking Canadians who want to get involved in shaping the future of their own country.

No, you make a good point there.

You've been first elected in 2006 and it's changed a lot since then.

It's a much angrier profession for the reasons you just outlined.

I just wonder, what are you going to do next?

Are you going to stay on as a member of parliament until this is over?

I guess free from ministerial constraints, you can start looking at your next career.

What are you going to do?

What's your next step going to be?

Look, again, I will be honoured to continue to serve my constituents in Mississauga Centre as their member of parliament until the next election.

And then I really don't know what the future holds.

I am looking for it.

I'm excited about the opportunities that are before me.

I know, I know for a fact that I will never find another job as good and as rewarding as the job I have.

But I also know that this job is temporary and I am grateful for every minute that I spent in it.

And I think it's just time for me to examine what the future holds for me.

But I really have no idea what's in store for me.

Well, minister, at least for one more day, Omar Elghabra, thanks for coming on today and thanks for coming on in the good times and the not so good times.

We always appreciated your time.

Thanks so much.

Thank you, David.
