Erskine-Smith says he feels ‘disrespected’ after being dropped from cabinet
OTTAWA — Former housing minister Nate Erskine-Smith says it’s “impossible not to feel disrespected” after being dropped from cabinet.
In a series of social media posts Tuesday, the member of Parliament for Beaches–East York said he ran in the recent election for the opportunity to make “an even bigger difference around the cabinet table and to help fix the housing crisis.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney shook up his cabinet Tuesday by moving some key players involved in Canada-U.S. relations into new positions and promoting 24 new faces in a move meant to signal change at the top.
Erskine-Smith was among 10 people Carney dropped from his cabinet.
