Freeland stays but there's word Garneau is out

Justin Trudeau is poised to conduct a major overhaul of his cabinet today.

The prime minister is expected to drop Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau.

It's believed Trudeau will move Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson to natural resources, with a new focus on clean tech.

Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan is likely to be moved from cabinet despite calls from the Conservatives.

Party Leader Erin O'Toole says they want Sajjan dumped over what he calls his mishandling of sexual misconduct among senior ranks of the military.
