A new Cabinet of Ministers has been formed in Canada under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The Government consisted of 38 ministers, 19 men and 19 women, who took the oath of allegiance to the country and the head of Canada, Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.
One of the most important steps is that Harjit Sajjan, who was sharply criticized for not paying due attention to cases of sexual harassment in the Canadian armed forces, is leaving the post of head of the defense department. From now on, he will head the Department for International Development.
The Canadian Press notes that the country's Defense Ministry was headed by Anita Anand, who previously served as Minister of Public Works and Procurement. She also procured vaccines during the pandemic. Anand will become the second woman in Canada to head the defense department.
Earlier, the media reported that unknown people threw a handful of stones at the Prime Minister of Canada. It happened at the moment when the politician got on his bus after the end of the election rally in the city of London, Ontario.
