Sean Fraser Steps Down from Cabinet as Trudeau Eyes Major Reshuffle

The Housing Minister cites family reasons for his departure, while the Prime Minister's Office seeks to recruit Mark Carney to strengthen the cabinet.

Housing Minister Sean Fraser has announced he will not seek re-election and will leave the federal cabinet, citing family reasons for his decision.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is preparing for a cabinet reshuffle, with sources suggesting it could take place as early as Wednesday but may be delayed until January.
Trudeau's team is reportedly making another attempt to recruit former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney to join the cabinet, though no final decision has been made.
Fraser's departure adds to a growing list of Liberal ministers who are stepping away from federal politics ahead of the next election, including six others who have announced similar decisions since July.
The cabinet shake-up is seen as part of Trudeau's effort to refresh his team and address challenges, including housing, economic priorities, and preparing for the return of Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency.
