Mark Carney was sworn in as Prime Minister along with his cabinet on Friday, March 14, 2025.
Sporting a much leaner cabinet roster than his predecessor Justin Trudeau with just 23 ministers, Mark Carney is Canada’s 24th Prime Minister.
Of note, Kody Blois has been named minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Rural Economic Development. Blois serves as the MP of Kings-Hants of Nova Scotia and chair of the Standing Committee for Agriculture. He was first elected as MP in 2019.
Blois is well-known to the agriculture industry and the RealAg audience. See his interviews here.
