P.E.I. Liberal MP Heath MacDonald takes on cabinet role in Mark Carney's new government
P.E.I. once more has a federal cabinet minister. Liberal MP Heath MacDonald was asked to take on the Agriculture and Agri-Food portfolio in Prime Minister Mark Carney's cabinet. He is pictured at Rideau Hall after his swearing in, with Carney and Governor General Mary Simon. As CBC's Cody MacKay reports, leaders in the Island's agriculture sector are happy with the choice but warning that MacDonald has a heavy job in front of him.
