Canada's newly appointed Prime Minister Mark Carney has formed a cabinet that highlights both gender parity and increased representation of minority groups. Four Indian-origin Canadians—Anita Anand, Maninder Sidhu, Ruby Sahota, and Randeep Sarai—have secured key positions, with Anand notably becoming the new foreign minister. The cabinet also includes three Indigenous members, such as Mandy Gull-Masty, marking a historic appointment for Indigenous representation. While gender balance has been restored, most of the top cabinet roles remain held by men. The new cabinet reflects Carney's efforts to address diversity and inclusion, though critics note there is still progress to be made.
