The newly appointed cabinet of Prime Minister Mark Carney includes 28 ministers and 10 secretaries of state, with three members from Brampton, surpassing representation from Saskatchewan and Alberta combined. The Brampton appointees are Shafqat Ali as President of the Treasury Board, Maninder Sidhu as Minister of International Trade, and Ruby Sahota as Secretary of State (Combatting Crime). Despite Brampton’s significant representation, political analyst Nelson Wiseman suggests that this may not be overly significant, as regional balance was likely a broader consideration in the cabinet’s formation.
