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 Minister Chrystia 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.
