The Quebec MP quit Carney’s cabinet last year after the announcement of Ottawa’s energy deal with Alberta, which includes an agreement to work toward the approval of a bitumen pipeline.

Guilbeault is expected to inform the Liberal caucus of his departure today.
The Liberals have a slim majority with 174 seats in the House of Commons.
