Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will shuffle his cabinet on Friday morning.
A government source confirms a swearing-in ceremony will take place at Rideau Hall.
This comes at the end of a tumultuous week that saw Trudeau lose his finance minister and face a new swell of pressure within his caucus for him to resign.
Before Chrystia Freeland鈥檚 bombshell resignation on Dec. 16 Trudeau had already been preparing a cabinet shuffle to replace five ministers who had told him they won鈥檛 be running in the next election.
He is also now expected to appoint a new public safety minister with Dominic LeBlanc now balancing that portfolio with the finance role he was given hours after Freeland鈥檚 departure.
LeBlanc responded 鈥測es鈥 Thursday when asked if Trudeau has the full support of cabinet to stay on as leader.
The five ministers who are not seeking re-election include Housing Minister Sean Fraser, Sport Minister Carla Qualtrough, National Revenue Minister Marie-Claude-Bibeau, Northern Affairs Minister Dan Vandal and Southern Ontario Economic Development Minister Filomena Tassi.
It鈥檚 common practice for ministers not seeking re-election to be replaced.
Ministers Anita Anand and Jeanette Petitpas Taylor are both serving in dual portfolios after the cabinet departures of Pablo Rodriguez from transport and Randy Boissonnault from employment and official languages.
Anand assumed Rodriguez鈥檚 responsibilities on top of being president of the Treasury Board and Petitpas Taylor took on Boissonnault鈥檚 duties in addition to Veterans Affairs.
This all comes as Trudeau faces growing calls to step down as Liberal leader from his own caucus in the wake of Freeland鈥檚 resignation.
In a social media post, Toronto MP and foreign affairs parliamentary secretary Rob Oliphant said he called for an 鈥渦rgent meeting鈥 of his riding association executive Thursday before taking a public stand on the leadership question.
鈥淲hat鈥檚 best for Canada comes first and our party comes second,鈥 Oliphant wrote.
New Brunswick Liberal Wayne Long said earlier this week that 40 to 50 caucus members believe it鈥檚 time for Trudeau to go, including five cabinet ministers.
