Indo-Canadian Sikh MP Bains likely to get ministerial berth

Navdeep Bains, 38-year-old Indian- origin Canadian Sikh MP who played a key role in prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau’s leadership bid in 2013, is likely to get a ministerial berth, a media report has said. Speculation is rife that Bains, a Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) from Mississauga city, may end up getting a ministry as Trudeau has already chosen ministers for his upcoming cabinet, according to The Star newspaper. Bains, who played a key role in Trudeau’s leadership bid in 2013, is presently a distinguished visiting professor at Ryerson University Ted Rogers School of Management and holds an MBA with a specialization in Finance.
