In a cabinet shuffle earlier this month, Melanie Joly was replaced as Minister of Canadian Heritage by Pablo Rodriguez, who was previously the cabinet whip.
Joly will now be the Minister of Tourism, Official Languages and La Francophonie.
Rodriguez immigrated to Canada from Argentina at eight years old. He is the MP for Honoré-Mercier (Montreal), and holds a degree in business administration from the University of Sherbrooke.
