29th Canadian Ministry

The Twenty-Ninth Canadian Ministry was the Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, that began governing Canada shortly before the opening of the 42nd Parliament. The original members were sworn in during a ceremony held at Rideau Hall on November 4, 2015. Those who were not already members of the Privy Council were sworn into it in the same ceremony. At the time of its dissolution, the Cabinet consisted of 35 members including Trudeau, with 17 women and 18 men. When the ministry was first sworn in, with 15 men and 15 women (aside from Trudeau), it became the first gender-balanced cabinet in Canadian history.

Trudeau carried out four major cabinet shuffles: one in 2018, one in 2021, one in 2023, and another in 2024.

On October 26, 2021, one month after the 2021 Canadian federal election that gave the governing Liberal Party a second minority mandate; the ministry underwent a cabinet shuffle, resulting in many promotions, demotions, and removals from cabinet.

Following resignations by major Trudeau cabinet leaders in December 2024, the government entered a political crisis as multiple Liberal party members and all opposition parties called for Trudeau's resignation and a new election. Trudeau announced his intention to resign as prime minister and party leader in early January 2025, and was succeeded by Mark Carney on March 14, 2025.
