The latest cabinet shuffle sees the Liberal government create 92 new departments to oversee Indigenous communities, one for each of the 92 calls to action offered by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
“With this cabinet shuffle, which has absolutely nothing to do with the upcoming federal election, we are turning reconciliation into reconcilliACTION,” declared an ecstatic Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“As I said when our party ascended to power, no relationship is more important to me and to this country than the one with Indigenous Peoples.”
Among the new departments are the Department of Apologizing for Pipelines Forced Into Indigenous Communities, Department of Not-Apologizing for Pipelines into Indigenous Communities, Department of Apologizing for Apologies and the Department of Canoe and Paddle Storage for Indigenous Youth.
“I know we don’t even have that many federal ministers but we’ll have 92 by week’s end,” said a government spokesperson.
To address the shortfall, the Prime Minister’s Office said that Ministers Jane Philpott, Jody Wilson-Raybould and Carolyn Bennett have all agreed to undergo controversial new surgery that will see the very essences of them inserted into smaller, more streamlined clones that will take on the many new duties offered by the Trudeau.
