Ottawa-Vanier Liberal MP Mona Fortier has been appointed chief government whip
in Parliament, the prime minister’s office announced Saturday.



It was the latest part of a major cabinet shuffle announced by Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau on Friday.



The government whip is a key organizational job, tasked with ensuring that MPs
are in the chamber for debates and votes, determining which committees MPs will
sit on and assigning offices and seats in the House of Commons.
