    Per the announcement from the Prime Minister’s Office, Julian Fantino moves to International Cooperation to replace Bev Oda and Bernard Valcourt becomes the associate minister of defence, replacing Mr. Fantino at that spot.

    And per this tweet from the Prime Minister’s director of communications, that’s it.

    So much for all that cabinet speculation.
