There is a new Prime Minister in Canada, and along with that comes a new cabinet, including a new Agriculture Minister.

Mark Carney was sworn in as Prime Minister today (FRIDAY), and with that he introduced a pared-down cabinet from his predecessor, Justin Trudeau.

Carney’s cabinet features 23 cabinet ministers, significantly fewer than the 36 in the Trudeau administration.

Of note for producers in Saskatchewan is a new Agriculture Minister.

Lawrence MacAulay had earlier announced he was not running again in the next election, and he has been replaced as Agriculture Minister by Kody Blois (bloi-ss).
