总理马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）在该省有两个自由党议员，但仍将艾伯塔省离开了新任命的内阁。 卡尼周五在渥太华的里多音乐厅举行的仪式上宣誓就职。 新内阁包括24名部长，这是前总理贾斯汀·特鲁多（Justin Trudeau）最后一位内阁周围的39名部长的大幅减少。 加拿大企业加拿大企业加拿大西部主任，联合保守党的前职员Colin Aitchison说：“内阁确实表明了总理的意图，但我认为艾伯塔省并不是有意的，但我认为很多人会觉得他们被拒绝了。” “他们专注于GTA，专注于多伦多，专注于魁北克，这可能是他发送的信号 - 故意或无意间。” 温尼伯西部唯一的内阁大臣是代表北温哥华的能源和国家资源部长乔纳森·威尔金森。 
卡尼说，在仪式上宣誓就职后，桌子上没有艾伯塔省的代表，这是镇定柜的结果。 卡尼说：“这是您减少事情的一个因素，但我当然是整个加拿大总理，而且我来自西方。” 艾伯塔省在下议院拥有两个自由主义者：埃德蒙顿 - 中心的兰迪·博伊森诺特（Randy Boissonnault），他以前曾在内阁任职，卡尔加里·塞维尤（Calgary-Skyview）的乔治·查哈尔（George Chahal）。 但是，多年来，两者都被“陷入丑闻中”，专家认为这可能影响了卡尼的决定。 “兰迪·博森纳（Randy Boissennault）曾在内阁中，由于声称土著地位并根据此获得公司赠款而被撤离内阁，”皇家皇家大学的政治学家杜安·布拉特（Duane Bratt）说。 “乔治·查哈尔（George Chahal）在他吸引了保守派传单的选举活动中浮出水面，这伤害了他。 “如果卡尼获胜，让我们看看选举后会发生什么。” Carney defended his cabinet appointments as “meeting the moment,” with a focus on protecting Canadians amid a trade war with the United States. He also pointed to other cabinet picks’ birthplaces, rather than where their riding is. “Chrystia Freeland lives in Toronto, Chrystia Freeland is from the west, Chrystia Freeland is from Alberta,” the Prime Minister said. “But people get classified in a way that limits their breadth of experience. I could give you many examples of the pan-Canadian nature of this cabinet.” Tweet This
However, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith isn’t buying that argument, and shared concerns Carney’s cabinet includes many ministers responsible for previous Liberal government policies she said are damaging to Alberta’s economy. Speaking at an unrelated press conference in Calgary on Friday, Smith repeated calls for a general election. “I haven’t seen any change to be encouraged that we’re going to have a reset on our relationship,” Smith said. “So we need an election and that’s how it needs to get sorted out.” In a statement sent Friday afternoon, Smith pointed out nine Liberal government policies she wants to see condemned by the new prime minister, after the consumer carbon tax was repealed. Carney hinted an election call will be coming before November, but many experts predict the writ will be dropped in the coming weeks. “This is really a caretaker cabinet pending the election outcome,” Bratt said. “But it’s not a normal caretaker cabinet because we’re in the middle of a trade crisis.” Tweet This来源链接： https://globalnews.ca/news/11083146/no-alberta-representation-in-prime-minister-mark-carneys-new-cabinet/ |
