OTTAWA — A newly appointed junior member of cabinet says the federal government will operate more like a "corporation" under Prime Minister Mark Carney than it did under Justin Trudeau.
Liberal MP Wayne Long says he's already seeing a big difference in how things are being run under Carney.
Long says he believes the shift in approach is "long overdue."
Long, now secretary of state for the Canada Revenue Agency, was one of several Liberals who drove a caucus revolt against Trudeau last year over his leadership.
Ministers filed into the first meeting of the new cabinet today, following a swearing-in ceremony at Rideau Hall on Tuesday, and many of them say they are still being briefed on their new files.
Carney moved some veteran players from the Trudeau years into new positions while also promoting 24 new faces — a move meant to signal a change in priorities.
