Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will shuffle his cabinet today to fill the vacancy left by the abrupt resignation of Jane Philpott as Treasury Board president. High-level sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told CBC News it would be a small shuffle to address Philpott's departure. Murray is a former provincial cabinet minister and has been parliamentary secretary to the Treasury Board president for several years. This will be the third cabinet shuffle in three months for the prime minister, after a domino effect of resignations starting with former Treasury Board president Scott Brison, then Wilson-Raybould from her new posting at veterans affairs, then Philpott. Treasury Board isn't a very public role, but it oversees accountability and ethics, financial, personnel and administrative management, controllership, approving regulations and cabinet orders.
