Canada’s new federal immigration minister is former Crown Prosecutor Marco Mendicino
The Honourable Marco E. L. Mendicino MP
The Liberal MP takes over at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) from Ahmed Hussen, who becomes minister of Families, Children and Social Development.
Mendicino is a newcomer to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, having been a parliamentary secretary for the Minister of Justice and Minister of Infrastructure during the last parliament.
He also co-chaired the Liberal Party’s successful Ontario election campaign.
Mendicino takes over the immigration file with a number of promises having been made in the Liberal platform ahead of the recent election.
With Trudeau re-elected as the head of a minority government, proposed changes will require support from other parties to make it through parliament.
