US EditionTory MP Jamil Jivani concerned there’s no labour minister amid Trump’s tariffs
- On May 13 and 14, 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney reshuffled his cabinet, naming Patty Hajdu as the minister responsible for jobs and families, while John Zerucelli was designated as secretary of state for labour, addressing key labour-related issues in Canada.
- Carney excluded a full minister of labour from his cabinet, replacing the role with a junior secretary of state position, prompting concern during economic friction caused by U.S. tariffs.
- Conservative MP Jamil Jivani expressed that Trump's 25% duties on vehicle imports threaten thousands of workers in Oshawa's auto sector and called for reinstating a full labour minister and stronger government-union collaboration.
- Labour leaders like Joseph Mancinelli and unions criticized Carney's decision as insulting, while Patty Hajdu stated cabinet aims to protect workers amid changes to Canada's economic ties with the U.S.
- The absence of a dedicated labour minister poses questions about labour issue effectiveness, with unions and experts pledging to keep workers’ concerns central as the government navigates economic uncertainty.
