Prime Minister Mark Carney announced his new cabinet, emphasizing economic growth, innovation, and international trade relationships through a streamlined structure organized around outcomes rather than traditional departmental boundaries.

The cabinet features several notable strategic decisions, including splitting the former Innovation, Science and Economic Development portfolio between Mélanie Joly, who will lead Industry, and Evan Solomon, who takes on the new AI & Digital Innovation role.

Dominic LeBlanc has been positioned as the government's chief relationship manager, overseeing both Canada-US relations and federal-provincial affairs—a consolidation reflecting the critical importance of these relationships under current trade tensions.

The Prime Minister also restored the Women and Gender Equality Minister position, appointing Rechie Valdez to the role, and created a new Secretary of State position for Defence Procurement, filled by Stephen Fuhr.

The cabinet structure signals Carney's pragmatic governance approach, with portfolios designed to tackle complex policy challenges that traditionally span multiple departments. The emphasis on digital innovation and streamlined international relations reflects the government's priorities as it navigates economic uncertainty and evolving trade relationships.
