This week, Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled his new cabinet.

Three Indigenous members of Parliament will be part of his inner circle.

One of the most notable appointments is Mandy Gull-Masty, a former grand chief of the Grand Council of the Crees in Quebec.

She becomes the first Indigenous person to lead Indigenous Services Canada.

Our Truth and Politics panel is here, joining guest host Tiar Wheatle.

Niigaan Sinclair is a columnist with the Winnipeg Free Press, and helping us out this week is Cassidy Caron, the former president of the Métis National Council and a principal with First Peoples Group.
