The Thirtieth Canadian Ministry is the cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Mark Carney, which has governed Canada since Justin Trudeau resigned.[1] Following the election of Carney as Leader of the Liberal Party, he and his ministers were sworn in on March 14, 2025, in a ceremony at Rideau Hall.[2][3] Carney shrunk the cabinet from 37 ministers under Trudeau, to 23 plus himself.[4] After the Liberals were returned to minority government in the 2025 federal election, Carney announced that a revamped Cabinet would be sworn in on May 13.[5]

Lists of Secretaries of State

[edit]

Secretaries of State are considered part of the ministry but not part of cabinet. The practice of appointing Secretaries of State to assist more senior ministers was revived during the May 13, 2025 cabinet shuffle, having previously been used during the governments of Jean Chrétien and Stephen Harper.
