As Mark Carney prepares to be officially sworn in as prime minister today, the questions about who will be included in his cabinet are still swirling.
Sources say some portfolios could be combined to reflect their departments.
Former privy council clerk Michael Wernick said in a recent interview he expects several ministers will be “double-hatting” or carrying more than one portfolio for the time being.
In any case, it seems certain that the new cabinet will be smaller than Justin Trudeau’s last cabinet — which featured 37 members, including himself. Carney is to be sworn-in during a ceremony at Rideau Hall today at 11am eastern time.
