In Ottawa, the Heritage Department is a revolving door at best, a nuisance at worst

Published on

Marc Miller speaks to reporters ahead of a cabinet meeting on Parliament Hill, on Tuesday.

If the Canadian screen sector was searching for a perfectly on-the-nose way to capstone a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year, then they could not have written a better finale to 2025 than what’s currently going on inside the Department of Canadian Heritage.

Late last week, Culture Minister Steven Guilbeault resigned from cabinet, spurred by Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new energy accord with Alberta and the Liberal government’s overall track record on climate policy. Stepping into the role as of Monday: Montreal MP Marc Miller, a staple of former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet but initially kept on the outside by Carney when he first took office.
