Carney Brings Marc Miller Back as Culture Minister After Guilbeault Exit

The move follows Steven Guilbeault’s protest resignation over a federal–Alberta energy pact that relaxes climate rules to clear a path for a potential pipeline.

Overview

  • Montreal MP Marc Miller was sworn in at Rideau Hall as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and will also oversee Official Languages.
  • Joël Lightbound was named Quebec lieutenant and continues as Minister of Government Transformation, Public Works and Procurement.
  • Julie Dabrusin’s portfolio was expanded to Environment, Climate Change and Nature as she assumed parks and conservation responsibilities.
  • Guilbeault remains a Liberal MP but said suspending the proposed oil-and-gas emissions cap and removing Alberta’s Clean Electricity Regulations obligations make Canada’s 2030 climate target unattainable.
  • B.C. Premier David Eby has pushed back on the pipeline pathway, saying he could consider supporting a project only if the coastal oil-tanker ban remains in place.
