Prime Minister Mark Carney has named his cabinet after winning the Canadian federal election and forming a minority government. Some positions that were dropped pre-election are back, things are shuffled around, so what are Canadiens supposed to take away from this?

Why is there a minister of AI but not a full minister for labour? Is the housing file in good hands? What should Canadians take away from the more progressive wing of the Liberal caucus being essentially tossed out of cabinet?
