Abstract
The article analyses the composition and priorities of the new Canadian Cabinet, which was formed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after he federal elections-2019. The new cabinet, like the first group of ministers J. Trudeau picked four years ago, is young – the median age is 49. As before, the Cabinet is gender balanced and includes an equal number of women and men. However, the new cabinet, unlike the previous one, is a "minority government." Moreover, it is imbalanced and has profound regional disproportions. Almost half of the ministers come from Ontario, while Alberta and Saskatchewan are not represented in the cabinet at all. This will create serious difficulties in the development and implementation of government policies. The priorities of the new government were announced in the speech from the throne at the opening of the 43rd federal parliament. As expected, the main provisions of the speech coincided with the points of the Liberal Party election platform. The idea of national reconciliation and harmony, which will be the main task of the new cabinet, was the keynote of the speech from the throne.
