How Trudeau’s cabinet has changed since his first trip to Rideau Hall

Justin Trudeau’s brand-new cabinet for a challenging era of minority government is bigger, more Ontarian and slightly older than the first group of ministers he picked four years ago. Because it’s 2019, no one between British Columbia and Manitoba will sit at the cabinet table. In 2015, five of 31 ministers hailed from the Prairies. That’s down to just one. Thirty-five per cent of his first ministers were from Ontario. Now closer to half—45 per cent—are from the province where the Liberals won big in October. The median age of cabinet at the start of Trudeau’s first mandate was 48. That number ticked up through various shuffles over four years, but has now settled at 49.

Check out the graphics below for provincial, regional and age breakdowns of cabinet (both in 2015 and 2019). You can also find charts with the median total household incomes in each minister’s riding—as well as each riding’s density—compared to the national median. (The source for income and density data is Statistics Canada’s 2016 census. The income data is from 2015.)
