US EditionCarney’s cabinet ministers evade journalists’ questions at defence industry show
- Two cabinet ministers from Prime Minister Mark Carney's government refused media questions at CANSEC in Ottawa on May 28 and 29, 2025.
- These refusals followed a pattern where both Defence Minister David McGuinty and Industry Minister Mélanie Joly declined engagement amid normally expected media availabilities at the event.
- Joly cancelled her media event due to a 'conflicting meeting,' while McGuinty dodged reporters by entering a VIP area, deviating from past ministerial openness at CANSEC.
- Culture Minister Steven Guilbeault and Housing Minister Gregor Robertson also departed from the government script, with Robertson stating that housing prices should not decline.
- These occurrences suggest a tighter communication strategy under Carney’s government, with ministers reportedly kept on a shorter leash than during Justin Trudeau’s tenure.
