Canada Gets A New Ag Minister In Cabinet Shuffle

Canada has a new Federal Agriculture Minister.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shuffled his cabinet Friday morning, moving Prince Edward Island M.P., Lawrence MacAulay, to Veterans-Affairs Minister, filling the void left by Jody Wilson-Raybould.

Trudeau appointed Quebec MP, Marie-Claude Bibeau, as Canada's first female Agriculture Minister.

Bibeau was previously the Minister for International Development and was elected as the Member of Parliament for Compton-Stanstead in October of 2015.

Macaulay, a 30-year vet, had served as Ag minister since 2015.

Video: Dream Projects Made Real | BX Summer Contest Winner Stories



Three women. Three properties. Three summers that changed everything.

Meet the 2025 Kubota BX Summer Contest winners — and watch what happened when their biggest plans finally had the power to match them.

Akesh transformed her 9.8-acre property in just 3 months — clearing a historic barn, building a cottage garden, and growing vegetable beds for her family. Kathleen rebuilt her yard from the ground up after the 2023 wildfires devastated her property — creating a space where her children could play and grow again. Teresa reclaimed her family's 97-acre Ontario farm — moving topsoil, restoring fields, and honouring her mother's memory one season at a time.

Three dream projects. Three stories of vision, resilience, and hard work. One unforgettable summer with a Kubota BX.

"The BX made everything happen so quick." — Akesh "I feel like I can make a huge difference." — Kathleen "It's a dream come true. The answer to my prayers." — Teresa
