Brampton, Canada: Brampton MP Ruby Sahota has been appointed to Justin Trudeau's Cabinet, marking a historic moment as South Asian representation within the Cabinet reaches six members. Sahota will serve as Minister for Democratic Institutions and Minister Responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario.

The inclusion of Sahota adds to a growing list of South Asian MPs in key Cabinet roles, including Anita Anand (Minister of Transport), Gary Anandasangaree (Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations), Kamal Khera (Minister of Diversity and Inclusion), Harjit S. Sajjan (Minister of Emergency Preparedness), and Arif Virani (Minister of Justice).

Despite this milestone, political tensions rise as opposition parties, including the Conservatives and NDP, prepare to challenge the minority Liberal government. Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh have both expressed intentions to bring the government down ahead of the next federal election. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Trudeau's office emphasized that the new Cabinet will focus on important issues such as housing, childcare, and economic relief for Canadians.

Several ministers have also seen new appointments or portfolio changes. Notably, Rachel Bendayan is now Minister of Official Languages, and Élisabeth Brière has been named Minister of National Revenue. Other new ministers include Ruby Sahota, Joanne Thompson (Minister of Seniors), and Darren Fisher (Minister of Veterans Affairs).
