PRINCE GEORGE– Justin Trudeau will be kicking off his third mandate with some big changes.

The recently elected Prime Minister has shaken up his Cabinet. Trudeau named new ministers to key portfolios including defense, health, foreign affairs, and environment as well as having a handful of first-timers.

Another big change was the Minister of Indigenous Services. Patty Hajdu has been moved from the health file after 19 months of the COVID-19 pandemic and has been given the position. A good selection for the position in the opinion of Mary Teegee who has worked with Hajdu in the past.

But even though Teegee has praise for the new Minister, she says she faces some major challenges ahead with the biggest being the government taking indigenous kids to court.
