Government House leader Steven MacKinnon has arrived at Rideau Hall, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to swear in a new labour minister this morning.

Trudeau is appointing a replacement for Seamus O’Regan, whose resignation is effective today after he announced Thursday he was leaving cabinet for family reasons.

MacKinnon joined cabinet as the House leader in January to replace Karina Gould while she is on maternity leave.
