👉 2025 Liberal Party of Canada leadership election in the context of 30th Canadian Ministry

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. Initially, Carney reduced the size of the Cabinet from 37 ministers under Trudeau, to 24 ministers including himself. 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.

The 29th Canadian Ministry of Justin Trudeau had started a tradition of gender parity with an equal number of male and female ministers excluding the prime minister. The brief first Carney Cabinet from March to May 2025 had slightly more male than female ministers, but an equal number of male and female ministers excluding the prime minister was reinstituted in the post-election Cabinet in May.

2025 Liberal Party of Canada leadership election in the context of Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada

The leader of the Liberal Party of Canada (French: chef du parti libéral) is the highest political office of the Liberal Party of Canada. The holder of the office is the formal political head of the party as a political organization and its parliamentary caucus in Canada's House of Commons, with specific authority to "speak for the party concerning any political issue".

The current leader is Mark Carney, the current Prime Minister of Canada. He is the 14th permanent leader. He succeeded former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as party leader on March 9, 2025, following his victory in the party's leadership election, and succeeded Trudeau as Prime Minister five days later. Given that the Liberal Party has been one of the two principal contenders for power for most of Canada's history, most of the past holders of this office had served as prime minister.
