Four more federal cabinet ministers will not run for reelection, RadioCanada has learned, meaning Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will reshuffle his cabinet at a time when his leadership is increasingly fragile.
MarieClaude Bibeau (National Revenue), Carla Qualtrough (Sports), Filomena Tassi (Economic Development for Southern Ontario) and Dan Vandal (Northern Affairs) have informed the prime minister they won't be running in the next federal election.
They were all elected in the 2015 election. Ministers Bibeau and Qualtrough have held ministerial positions since then. Bibeau is considering a run for mayor of Sherbrooke, scheduled for fall 2025.
The four ministers will be removed from cabinet in a reshuffle scheduled for the coming weeks, sources told RadioCanada.
The prime minister has yet to set a date for the shuffle. Some of his advisors believe it would be better to wait for the outcome of the U.S. election on Nov. 5 before finalizing the new ministerial team.
