Victoria MP David Anderson isn't the only one getting the bum's rush from cabinet. Privy Council President Denis Coderre, Justice Minister Irwin Cotler and Citizenship and Immigration Minister Judy Sgro are rumoured to be checking out of their cushy ministerial offices. Those receiving happier news tomorrow are said to include Tony Valeri, who is being moved from transportation to become the Liberal's house leader, and Stephane Dion, who makes it back into cabinet by getting Mr. Anderson's old environment portfolio.
Finance Minister Ralph Goodale and Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan are staying right where they are, while Pierre Pettigrew takes over from Bill Graham at foreign affairs, who is moving to national defense. Andy Mitchell gets shifted from indian and northern development to agriculture. And Andy Scott gobbles his way up the political food chain from being the minister of state for infrastructure to the minister of citizenship and immigration.
