NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has criticized Prime Minister Mark Carney for not assigning any specific portfolios for women, youth, or people with disabilities. Singh also pointed out that Carney’s cabinet does not include a dedicated labor minister.
He noted that Steven McKinnon now serves as the Minister of Jobs and Families, and while labor-related matters may still fall under his responsibilities, the portfolio’s name carries significant meaning.
Singh stated that this demonstrates Carney’s government is not prioritizing labor, unions, or workers.
