4 more Trudeau cabinet ministers won’t seek re-election: sources

Four more federal cabinet ministers will not run for re-election, Radio-Canada has learned, meaning Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will reshuffle his cabinet at a time when his leadership is increasingly fragile.

Marie-Claude 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.

… According to Radio-Canada’s count, 24 elected members of the Liberal caucus don’t intend to seek re-election. That’s not counting the seven MPs who have resigned since the last election, including former ministers Marc Garneau, David Lametti and Carolyn Bennett.

A slow motion ouster.
