As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reorganized his front bench Wednesday in a massive federal cabinet shuffle, he also created a single new job: minister of citizens91裸聊视频� services.

But when the minister appointed to the new role was asked what exactly citizens91裸聊视频� services is, he wasn91裸聊视频檛 entirely clear.

91裸聊视频淭his is really where the rubber hits the road in providing services to citizens right across the country,91裸聊视频� newly appointed cabinet minister Terry Beech said Wednesday, less than an hour after he was sworn in.

Some elements of Employment and Social Development Canada will be under his purview, as well as 91裸聊视频渁 bit of digital governance,91裸聊视频� he said.

When pressed for details, he admitted he wasn91裸聊视频檛 sure on the specifics.

91裸聊视频淚 met with my deputy minister about five minutes ago. She handed me a piece of paper with a whole bunch of bullet points on it,91裸聊视频� he explained.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 gonna get fully briefed and to provide you much more fulsome answers from here on out.91裸聊视频�

While the parameters of the new role aren91裸聊视频檛 exactly clear, it could have a major impact on the Liberals91裸聊视频� political prospects, said Jennifer Robson, program director and political management professor at Carleton University.

91裸聊视频淚 actually think that getting stuff done and delivering goods and services to Canadians in ways that actually makes a difference in their lives is really good politics,91裸聊视频� she said.

It91裸聊视频檚 clear that the new appointment stems, at least in part, from the frustrations and failures in service delivery after the pandemic, she said.

Last year, public frustrations hit a boiling point as the government struggled to issue passports on time, jeopardizing Canadians91裸聊视频� travel plans and leaving people to camp out in long lines for hours outside their passport offices.

The problems led the prime minister to strike a task force made up of cabinet ministers to address serious delays in passport and immigration applications.

The issue goes beyond those specific frustrations though, Robson said.

91裸聊视频淭here91裸聊视频檚 this whole of government challenge. Is the government actually set up to deliver services to Canadians in ways that reflect the way that citizens expect to be treated now?91裸聊视频� she said.

In a short statement, the Prime Minister91裸聊视频檚 Office said the new role will have a 91裸聊视频渃ross-government focus on anything that touches Canadians directly.91裸聊视频�

That includes passports, but also dental care benefit filings and employment insurance.

Conservatives have taken aim at the government for months, alleging that 91裸聊视频渆verything is broken,91裸聊视频� and Trudeau and ministers have been quick to dismiss the Opposition91裸聊视频檚 pessimistic view of government.

After his new cabinet was sworn in, Trudeau said his team will offers an optimistic view of the future 91裸聊视频渢hat is a clear contrast from the broken-ist philosophy that the leader of the Conservative party continues to put forward.91裸聊视频�

The new post is likely an attempt to thwart that Conservative narrative, said Jeni Armstrong, an instructor in political management at Carleton University.

91裸聊视频淚 think this may be an attempt to say, 91裸聊视频楴o, we91裸聊视频檙e on it. We understand there are challenges and we91裸聊视频檙e gonna do our best to fix them,91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频� Armstrong said.

The kinds of files that are likely to fall under Beech91裸聊视频檚 supervision are some of the most tangible interactions people are likely to have with government. Sometimes, those are things that affect people91裸聊视频檚 bank accounts, she said.

As an entrepreneur, Beech said he developed a bit of a reputation for excellent customer service in his home community in British Columbia, and he91裸聊视频檚 excited to provide that to Canadians across the country.

The prime minister is expected to release new mandate letters for most of his ministers in the coming weeks, which will clarify exactly what he expects from his new citizens91裸聊视频� services minister.

Whatever it is, it needs to be more than 91裸聊视频渏ust rearranging the order of the words 91裸聊视频榮ervices91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频榗itizens,91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频� Robson said.
