OTTAWA,
ON, July 18, 2024 /CNW/ - The Prime Minister,
Justin Trudeau, today announced a change to the Ministry:
- Seamus O'Regan Jr., currently
Minister of Labour and Seniors, will step down from his ministerial
responsibilities due to family reasons. He will continue in his
position as the Member of Parliament for St. John's South—Mount
Pearl.

and workers. He has implemented measures for free and fair
bargaining, including by introducing historic anti-scab legislation
to ban replacement workers. He has worked extensively with partners
to solve complex labour disputes at the bargaining table, while
protecting trade and jobs.
The Prime Minister extends his sincere thanks to Minister
O'Regan for his exceptional leadership and dedication to making
life better for Canadians, including for unions, workers, and
organized labour. The new Minister of Labour and Seniors will be
sworn in at Rideau Hall on July 19,
