Filomena Tassi, Helena Jaczek swap federal cabinet roles in minor shuffle

BY The Canadian Press, Sep 1, 2022 12:54 AM - REPORT AN ERROR

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has swapped two ministers within his cabinet in a mini-shuffle.

Procurement Minister Filomena Tassi and Helena Jaczek, the economic development minister for southern Ontario, were sworn-in at a ceremony at Rideau Hall today.

Tassi moves from the Procurement Department to become the minister responsible for Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario, while Jaczek moves to the procurement portfolio.

Sources told The Canadian Press the shuffle came at the request of Tassi, who they say asked Trudeau for a lighter workload because of a family health matter.
