The Twenty-Ninth Canadian Ministry is the Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, that began governing Canada shortly before the opening of the 42nd Parliament. The original members were sworn in during a ceremony held at Rideau Hall on November 4, 2015. Those who were not already members of the privy council were sworn into it in the same ceremony. The Cabinet currently consists of 35 members including Trudeau, with 17 women and 18 men.[2] When the ministry was first sworn in, with 15 men and 15 women (aside from Trudeau), it became the first gender-balanced cabinet in Canadian history.[3]

Trudeau has carried out three major cabinet shuffles: one in 2018, one in 2021, and another in 2023.

On October 26, 2021, one month after the 2021 Canadian federal election that gave the governing Liberal Party a second minority mandate; the ministry underwent a cabinet shuffle, resulting in many promotions, demotions, and removals from cabinet.
