The impact on the nation’s governance, finances and now its Constitution are subordinate considerations. For his dereliction in the sexual misconduct in the military case alone, Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan should have been replaced. Yet the removal of a prominent Sikh might not play well in that influential community just months before a general election is expected. Health Minister Patty Hajdu has had a checkered pandemic, to put it mildly. The prime minister is given regular briefings by the Public Health Agency of Canada, meetings from which Hajdu is said to be excluded, despite her requests to be involved. It appears Trudeau doesn’t trust the input of his health minister during a health emergency but insists she remain as the government’s chief spokesperson on vaccines, rapid testing and all other life and death issues, rather than he be forced to shuffle a female minister.
