The Thirtieth Canadian Ministry or the Carney Ministry is the ministry currently in office led by Prime Minister Mark Carney. It was formed on March 14, 2025 following the resignation of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Carney 's victory in the Liberal leadership contest over former Deputy Prime MinisterChrystia Freeland.[1][2][3] Initially, Carney reduced the size of the cabinet from 37 ministers under Trudeau, to 24 ministers including himself.[4] Following the 2025 federal election that returned the Liberals as a minority government, Carney revamped his cabinet on May 13 with 29 ministers including himself, and appointed a further 10 secretaries of state, reviving a non-cabinet ministerial rank used throughout the Chrétien Ministry and briefly during the Harper Ministry.
Secretaries of State are considered part of the ministry but not part of cabinet. The practice of appointing Secretaries of State to assist more senior ministers was revived during the May 13, 2025 cabinet shuffle, having previously been used during the governments of Jean Chrétien and Stephen Harper.
On May 13, 2025, Carney carried out a significant reshuffle of his ministry following the 2025 federal election. 11 ministers were dropped from cabinet while 16 were added, bringing the size of cabinet to 28 members, plus Carney himself.
An additional 10 Secretaries of State were appointed to the ministry, though they are not members of the cabinet itself, reviving a practice previously used during the governments of Jean Chrétien and Stephen Harper.
