Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to meet his new cabinet this morning.
The meeting should take place at 10 a.m. in the east on the hill of the Parliament.
Carney rocked his office on Tuesday by moving certain key players in new positions and promoting 24 new faces in a movement intended to report the change at the top.
While some members of his team were eminent personalities of the government of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau – notably Dominic Leblanc, Mélanie Joly, Chrystia Freeland and François -Philippe Champagne – Carney frozen other eminent members of the cabinet of his predecessor.
Carney appointed 28 complete ministers to his office and also appointed a second level of 10 secretaries of state.
The Prime Minister abandoned several veterans of the Cabinet of the Trudeau years, including the former Minister of Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson and the former Minister of Defense Bill Blair.
Carney said he had sought to balance new perspectives with experience in the selection of his team and that half of the ministers are new on the bench before.

Carney has promised that Parliament will move at a rapid rate once it starts again on May 26 and said that its government would hold its promises with “urgency and determination”.
Carney told journalists on Tuesday that his government’s priorities include resolution of the United States and the development of “better” economic security and economic relations.
He said that his government would build a single Canadian economy, “strengthened bridges” throughout the Labor, Business and Civil Society and National Construction Investments which will support the “basic mission” of the strongest economy in the G7.
