Event Summary

Caroline Mulroney, Canada — Ontario's Treasury Board President and Minister of Francophone Affairs, is resigning from Premier Doug Ford's cabinet and her seat in the Canada — Ontario legislature, effective June 5. Her decision, influenced by personal milestones including the loss of her father, Brian Mulroney, and becoming an empty nester, will necessitate a by-election in York-Simcoe and a cabinet shuffle. Doug Ford praised Caroline Mulroney's leadership, and Peter Bethlenfalvy will serve as interim Treasury Board President, while Natalia Kusendova-Bashta will take over as Minister of Francophone Affairs.
