Two B.C. MPs named to cabinet as Carney sworn in as prime minister

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s newly unveiled cabinet includes two Members of Parliament from British Columbia.

Former Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson was sworn in Wednesday morning at Rideau Hall as minister of housing and infrastructure. The newly elected MP for Vancouver Fraserview–South Burnaby will also serve as minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada.

Delta MP Jill McKnight was also among the 28 cabinet ministers sworn in. She takes over as minister of veterans affairs and will serve as associate minister of national defence.

Carney’s cabinet also includes 10 secretaries of state, three of whom represent B.C. ridings. While not full cabinet ministers, secretaries of state may be asked to participate in cabinet or committee meetings to support policy discussions.

Longtime Surrey Centre MP Randeep Sarai has been appointed secretary of state for international development.

Stephanie McLean, MP for Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke, is the new secretary of state for seniors.

Kelowna MP Stephen Fuhr will serve as secretary of state for defence procurement.

More to come.
