Patty Hajdu is one of a select few federal cabinet ministers to keep their same role following the Liberal government's most recent cabinet shuffle.

The Thunder Bay-Superior North MP will remain as Indigenous services minister, as well as the minister responsible for FedNor, after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled his revamped cabinet on Wednesday.

Hajdu was one of just eight ministers to remain in the same portfolio, along with others like Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly, and Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault.

The shuffle does result in a change for one of the portfolios Hajdu works closely alongside, with Scarborough-Rouge Park MP Gary Anandasangaree taking on the role of Crown-Indigenous Relations minister, after Marc Miller was shifted to immigration.
