Two Indian-Origin Ministers Appointed in Canadian PM Mark Carney's Cabinet

Two Indian-Origin Ministers Appointed in Canadian PM Mark Carney's Cabinet latest news: In a turn of events, former central banker Mark Carney took the oath as Canada's new Prime Minister amid the challenges of a tariff war and rising geopolitical tensions. During his swearing-in ceremony on Friday, Carney took a bold step by swearing in two powerful Indian-origin women ministers, ushering in a new era for Canada's politics.

Anita Anand, 58, a leader of Indo-Canadian descent, has been named Minister of Innovation, Science, and Industry. Born and raised in rural Nova Scotia, Anand has always been devoted to public service, relocating to Ontario in 1985 to pursue higher education. Anand's appointment makes her an important figure in Canada's industry and innovation sectors, propelling the nation's future economic prosperity through scientific and technological advancements.

Kamal Khera, a Delhi-born and one of the youngest female members ever to be elected to the Canadian Parliament, is also a member of Carney's cabinet. Her political ascension is inspiring, and at 36, she continues to shatter glass ceilings and serve as a representative of Canada's multicultural population. Khera is currently the Minister of Health, an important position as Canada continues to face healthcare issues.

The new cabinet, while slightly smaller than its predecessor under Justin Trudeau with 24 members (13 men, 11 women), demonstrates Carney's priorities of diversity, inclusion, and competence. Appointing these two energetic women highlights Canada's dedication to multicultural representation at the highest echelons of governance.
