Prime Minister Mark Carney will enter Parliament with his fellow members later this month. The House of Commons is due to resume sitting on May 26, the first day of the 45th Parliament. Before that sitting, the new cabinet ministers will be sworn in by Governor General Mary Simon at a ceremony at Rideau Hall.

A spokesman for the Privy Council Office said Carney, who was sworn in as prime minister in March, and other cabinet ministers who hold the same portfolios will not be required to take the oath of office again but may choose to do so. However, any new ministers or those holding additional portfolios will be required to take the oath.

The spokesman said the date for the cabinet swearing-in ceremony would be announced in due course. It is worth noting that some ministers in the Carney cabinet, including Health Minister Kamal Khaira, lost the election on Monday and the arrival of new faces in the Liberals' strong but minority government means that the next cabinet will look different.

Canada Post honours Sikh soldiers with new Remembrance Day stamp unveiled in Kitchener

Canada Post has released a new Remembrance Day stamp to recognize the historic contributions of Sikh soldiers who served with Canadian and Allied forces. The unveiling took place Sunday during the annual Sikh Remembrance Day Ceremony at Mount Hope Cemetery in Kitchener, Ontario. The design pays tribute to Private Buckam Singh, one of the first Sikh Canadians to serve in the First World War and the youngest known Sikh soldier to enlist at age 22. Singh fought with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Europe, was twice wounded in action, and later died of tuberculosis in 1919. His gravesite in

Saskatchewan Premier Supports Alberta’s Use of Notwithstanding Clause to End Teacher Strike

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he supports Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s decision to invoke the notwithstanding clause to bring an end to the province’s ongoing teachers’ strike. Moe said Alberta’s use of the clause, which temporarily overrides certain Charter rights, was justified to ensure that students could return to classrooms after weeks of labour disruption. He added that provincial governments have a responsibility to use “every tool available” to protect the interests of citizens, including the education of children.

Trump says Carney apologized over Ontario’s anti-tariff ad; trade talks remain off the table

U.S. President Donald Trump says Prime Minister Mark Carney has apologized for an Ontario government advertisement criticizing U.S. tariffs, a controversy that led Washington to suspend trade negotiations with Canada earlier this month.

Calgary police and Alberta Occupational Health and Safety officials are conducting a joint investigation to determine the circumstances leading to the incident.
