The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held talks on Sunday with Mark Carney and urged the former Bank of Canada governor to join the Liberal government. The Globe's Robert Fife and Marieke Walsh write that Mr. Trudeau said Mr. Carney could become a member of the government through a byelection or wait to run when the general election is scheduled for October, 2025. He was not offered the post of finance minister or any other cabinet position. The Globe is citing unnamed sources. Mr. Carney was non-committal in his discussions with Mr. Trudeau about whether he is ready to take the leap into federal politics. He is currently Brookfield Asset chair and chair of Bloomberg Inc. The Prime Minister has privately assured Chrystia Freeland her job as Finance Minister is currently safe. On Friday, Mr. Trudeau will meet with his cabinet for a brief virtual session just before he begins his summer vacation. Ministers were told the meeting was regarding appointments. The Globe reported last Thursday that Mr. Trudeau's chief of staff Katie Telford and other officials in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) view Ms. Freeland as ineffective in selling the government's economic policies.
