Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 01 Dec, 2025 10:24 AM

Prime Minister Mark Carney will name a new minister of culture and identity this afternoon.

Steven Guilbeault, the previous culture minister, quit cabinet on Thursday to protest Ottawa's new pact with Alberta on a proposed pipeline.

Guilbeault previously served as environment minister in Justin Trudeau's government.

During a previous stint as heritage minister, Guilbeault first introduced the Online Streaming Act.

The Prime Minister’s Office says there will be a swearing-in ceremony at Rideau Hall at 3 p.m. ET.

It will be the first public event for Gov. Gen. Mary Simon since she was hospitalized with a respiratory illness last month.
