OTTAWA – Here are the latest developments on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet shuffle.
8:30 a.m.
Outgoing Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino has confirmed his ouster from cabinet with a statement posted on Twitter.
Mendicino says he is proud of the work he accomplished while serving in Trudeau’s cabinet for the past four years, first on the immigration file and then on public safety.
Mendicino recently faced harsh criticism for his office’s handling of the recent prison transfer of serial killer Paul Bernardo.
He says he has every intention to run as a Liberal candidate in the next federal election.
