Indian-Origin Women Anita Anand and Kamal Khera Appointed to Key Roles in Canadian Cabinet

Prime Minister Mark Carney's 24-member cabinet includes two prominent Indo-Canadian leaders, retaining ministerial roles with new portfolios.

Anita Anand, 58, has been named Minister of Innovation, Science, and Industry, focusing on building Canada's future economy.
Kamal Khera, 36, is now Minister of Health, bringing her experience as a registered nurse and former Minister of Seniors.
Both Anand and Khera served in Justin Trudeau's cabinet but have been reassigned to new portfolios under PM Mark Carney.
Khera, one of the youngest women elected to Canada's Parliament, has emphasized her commitment to improving healthcare outcomes.
Carney's new cabinet, smaller than Trudeau's, consists of 13 men and 11 women, reflecting a focus on efficiency and experience.
