Prime Minister Mark Carney will make changes to his front bench this afternoon after Steven Guilbeault resigned from cabinet last week.

Guilbeault quit cabinet over Thursday’s memorandum of understanding with Alberta, which jointly agrees on a path forward for a new bitumen pipeline to the B.C. coast.

The Montreal MP had been serving as minister of official languages, Canadian identity and culture — and Carney's Quebec lieutenant. The prime minister will be looking to fill both of those roles.

A swearing-in ceremony will be held at Rideau Hall at 3 p.m. ET.

Guilbeault had held cabinet positions under former prime minister Justin Trudeau, including the environment and climate change portfolio. WATCH | What does the Alberta energy deal mean for the Liberal caucus?:
