She just resigned from the Cabinet.
Whatever the reason, this sends a signal to His Orangeness (Premier-elect of the 11th Province!</joke>) that his tactics are working...

I've now read her resignation letter.
She didn't fall. She was pushed.
Oh, hey, look who's back in Cabinet... as Transport Minister, which is a demotion, but the "Deputy Prime Minister" position has been eliminated altogether. She also gets Internal Trade, which means shes going to be busy working with the provinces to dismantle our internal trade barriers.
Dominic LeBlanc gets International Trade. Technically a demotion from Finance, but the biggest word on The Hill nowadays is "tariffs"...
Oh, and "Employment" has been re-named to "Jobs and Families". Make of that what you will.
