>Prime Minister Mark Carney will shuffle his cabinet today after the resignation of Steven Guilbeault, who served as minister of Canadian identity and culture.
>Mr. Guilbeault left the post Thursday over concerns the government was walking away from efforts to combat climate change.
>His decision to resign from cabinet followed the signing of a new energy accord between Ottawa and Alberta.
>Mr. Guilbeault will remain in the Liberal caucus.
>The energy deal provides for the cancellation of the oil and gas emissions cap, the suspension of clean electricity regulations and the potential lifting of a ban on oil tanker traffic for a new bitumen pipeline.
>The memorandum of understanding with Alberta also sees the province commit to a more stringent industrial carbon pricing system and the phased-in construction of a massive carbon capture and storage project to help reduce emissions.
>Mr. Guilbeault served as environment minister in the last Liberal government but was placed in charge of the heritage file after the spring election.
