Trudeau Considers New Faces Amid Cabinet Reshuffle Talks

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau discussed bringing former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney into his government. This follows speculation about Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's position after a Toronto by-election loss. Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan will step down for personal reasons.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney last week about possibly joining his government. This meeting occurred shortly after Trudeau reassured Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland that her job was secure, according to an exclusive report on Thursday.

Speculation has been rife regarding Freeland's future ever since the Liberals were defeated in a Toronto by-election last month. Rumors suggest her economic policies are failing to win voter support, leading to considerations of Carney, former central bank governor, as a potential replacement.

Despite the talks, no official cabinet posts were offered to Carney, and Trudeau reiterated his support for Freeland. Meanwhile, Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan has announced his resignation for personal reasons. His successor is expected to be sworn in on Friday.
