Carney fills out team with 39 parliamentary secretaries

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the team that will support him and his cabinet as his minority government tries to fulfil its mandate during tumultuous economic times.

The list of 39 parliamentary secretaries include a handful of Liberal MPs who once served in cabinet but were dropped after Carney's win on April 28.

Parliamentary secretaries are not cabinet ministers, but they assist ministers and secretaries of state. They're often tasked with supporting them in the House, during the legislative process and in making announcements.

The job comes with a $20,200 bump on top of their MP pay of $209,800.

"Canada's new parliamentary secretary team will deliver on the government's mandate for change, working collaboratively with all parties in Parliament to build the strongest economy in the G7, advance a new security and economic partnership with the United States and help Canadians get ahead," said Carney in a statement.
