Indian-origin Canadian politician Anita Anand appointed as the new Defence Minister of Canada in the latest cabinet reshuffle by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, just a month after his Liberal party returned to power in September 2021.
Anita Anand (54) will replace Indian-origin Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan, who has been criticized for not properly handling cases of sexual abuse in the army.
Anita Anand holds a strong background as a corporate lawyer and has served extensively on corporate governance particularly in line with the laws and rules in place to manage the operations of businesses.
