Canada’s Trudeau Sworn in as Prime Minister, Unveils Equal Cabinet number of women and men

Prime Minister Trudeau is sworn in today - and his cabinet.

Thirty ministers - 15 men and 15 women.

First gender balanced cabinet in Canadian history.

A reporter asks him why the gender balance.

“Because it’s 2015,” he answers.

Newly sworn-in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau chose a cabinet with an equal number of men and women, making Canada the second Group of Seven country after France to achieve gender parity among government ministers as he signaled a shift in tone and policy after a decade of Conservative rule.


Mr. Trudeau’s Liberal Party won a majority in Oct. 19 elections, promising change to voters tired of the incumbent Conservatives amid a souring economy. His swearing-in ceremony and cabinet choices on Wednesday aimed to deliver on that pledge. Beyond balancing gender in his cabinet, Mr. Trudeau included a number of minorities, including Harjit Sajjan, a Sikh combat veteran put in charge of defense and Jody Wilson-Raybould, an aboriginal woman and former prosecutor as justice minister.

In the last few years the monarchy has been hit by scandals including a furore over an elephant-hunting trip Juan Carlos took during the financial crisis. In the last few months, his daughter, the Infanta Cristina, has appeared in court to face questions over financial allegations surrounding her husband.
